when i start the car on a cold start, the engine is fine , car is completely stock no aftermarket parts.

when even accelerate, and release the gas pedal after accerlerate , i heard a clang clang , metal rattling noise, i don't know is it from the engine.
clanging metal rattle noise only comes after i release the gas petal. when the car is idle, i press on the gas and then release, still hear the metal rattle noise.

no engine check lights on, but i see the maintance light on.

please help.

This could be back pressure related and coming from the exhaust. It can be internal to the exhaust system, ie a bad or loose baffle. It can be from a heat shield vibrating as well. Put the car on ramps and after exercising safety precautions, crawl under the vehicle with it running and have a partner repeat the steps to make the noise appear. Narrow down the source.
