    Yeah i have changed plugs and wires and have even tried that Seafoam. Funny thing is that 9 out of 10 times when i go WOT it doesnt rattle at all. its got me stumped. I used to have a 02 GP GT and never had this issue. No SES lights either.

    Exhaust leak. Do you have an after market down pipe? If you do, retighten the downpipe bolts... mine came loose after awhile and I had to retighten them... before I did I had what sounded like a rattle and the annoying ticking of an exhaust leak... tightened it up and it all went away.

    Run some of the seafoam through the intake (brake booster line)... you'll see the smoke from the seafoam pouring out of the exhaust leak if you have one.

    Aside from that, I have a lifter tick that lasts for about 10 seconds after I cold start the car, but that's it....
