So I've had my car for three months now and still cannot figure out what this noise is! I'm by no means a mechanic but have common sense around cars, celicas inparticular. It's a mostly stock 7a-fe with 194k and 5 spd tranny. The car runs fine, and since I've had her changed the oil, spark plugs/wires, exhaust manifold/down pipe(original was cracked), and have had no other problems...not even a check engine light. I can't find anything loose that would rattle, but there is a significant power steering fluid leak.

Please see the video I put on youtube to hear the noise, which is most notable on a cold start and anytime I'm constantly holding revs over 2500rpms, but will stop if I floor the gas or let off it completely...It's very annoying on the freeway(but isn't noticable with the radio on! ha!). I'm thinking maybe a bad piston ring, or possibly something in the fuel injectors??? I should also say the noise does seem to emit from the passanger side of the engine bay. I'm worried it may be time for a rebuild as I do not know how the previous owners treated her. frown.gif If that is the case my biggest challenge would be finding someone I trust to do the work, but I'm sure you guys can help point me in the right direction for that! biggrin.gif

good thing i searched before posting.

i was gonna ask around and see if anyone can help me with this issue and found this thread =]

i have the same noise, except mine isnt that loud at start up,.. its most loudest and highest rattle point is while cruising around 2800 - 3300 rpms, but when i raise my rpms it goes away until i release the gas.
the sound is exactly like the video. i also have an at200 with 185k miles.. are these motors notorious for this ?
also jus recently had to fix the most annoying oil leak ever,.. about a week ago i replaced, Water Pump, Timing Belt, Crankshaft Seal, Timing Belt Tensioner Roller, Valve Cover Gasket, Camshaft Seal during the fix of my leak,.. i thought one of these would make that annoying rattle sound go away but it didnt =[

Ooohhhh man, I hate to break it to you but that noise turned out to definitely be rod-knock. I got about 5 months of driving her nicely before it threw the rod and put a hole in the block. I have another rebuilt engine now thanks to Smaay, but you will want to take care of it sooner than later!
