My oldest toyota, a 1990 camry, with 175,000 miles has developed a sound in the engine. If I accelerat briskly, I get a mettalic ratting sound from the motor. It sounds like its from the driver side part of the engine. If I accelerate moderately, you do not hear the rattle. I only hear the noise, when the car is accellerating briskly. It does not sound like its an internal part of motor, but an external part. Any ideas what it can be. ? Otherwise the car runs like a top, except the last year, is has been burning a bit more gas, and a little slower on pickup, but boy she still is a runner, with everything running. I even just invested in a new set of tires, since I have faith, I can get at least another 30-50 thousand on this car. They dont make them like this anymore. Its the inline 4 cylinder engine with auto, front wheel drive.
Thanks to all
