When I press on the gas there is a rattling sound. It sounds like a fan hitting the frame of it but it not coming from the fan in the car it sounds like its coming from under the engine near the firewall. I put a picture of where the sound is coming from. It sounds like its coming under that black thing.

A rod knock usually starts up When gasing it take off a plug wire while its running then rev it up.Then put it back on.Go thru all the plugs and see if the noise goes away while pulling any of the plug wires?
