Esteem '02 Front Right - Engine rattle under load
My trusty '02 Esteem wagon GLX is acting funny at 65,000 miles. I've got my acceleration and peppiness until around 3,500 rpm in 1st, or under load in the taller gears. If I try to push full throttle in any gear, there is a rattling from the engine that is not evident at any other time. It seems that the sound is from the right front in the engine compartment and my ears tell me it's engine noise and not interior or ancillary equipment.
I changed the plugs about 20,000 miles ago and everything was great until recently. The car is lubed on schedule and I don't have any check engine light warnings.
Anyone have an educated guess what the problem is? Is it timing? If so, how can I make adjustments.
Thanks for looking/assisting
