Engine rattles when it is on, However the rattling increases when the car is in drive and reverse yet when I step on the gas it goes away. Can you help me with this? Thank you

Hi Samanthagoins,

It sounds like you have a broken flex plate which is located between the engine and transmission.

Best, Ken
