Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone could offer some suggestions. I have an unaltered 2000 3.8L and I've noticed that from time to time, the engine produces an interesting chain rattling sound. It occurs only when I'm accelerating and stops immediately when I back off on the gas. It also seems to only occur at speeds over 40 mph. My transmission is fine, but when I have the dealership look into this, I'd like to have an idea as to what this could be. Anyone else notice this as well? I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks!!
