I hit a large stick yesterday. now there is a strange rattle that goes away when I accelerate. I cant tell if it is in the engine compartment or under the car. Fluids all check fine fan blade turns freely and isnt hitting anything. what might my problem be?

You best get the car up on a hoist for as full under car inspection, this can be anything, and it will be an good chance to inspect for any under car damage caused by the stick.
