when my car is running in park there is a clunking sound as if something is loose. sounds like it is around the alternator but when i give it gas the clunking sound stops.

Good morning,

Can you post a video of the noise so I can hear it and identify the possible failure?

The noise could come from so many places. It could be internal engine related, something belt-driven among the top 2.
