this problem jus started a few days ago, and i have not been driving much because of it. When my engine gains revs, at around 3-5k...i get a horrible rattling sound...this cannot be right, so i been driving like an old granny for a few days, avoiding anything about 2k...the sound is bad, and it sounds like it coming directly from the engine, i dono how to describe the sound any better than a rattling sound, like a bubbly rattle...anyone with knowledge feel free to educate me thanks....peace
im at 60k miles...2000 csvt

check the waterpump! Quit driving it! Geez! Engines aren't supposed to make rattling sounds and I fail to see why people still drive their cars when there is something OBVIOUSLY SERIOUSLY wrong with it.

It sounds to me like it is possible you spun a bearing....whcih means you will ahve to do a motor swap soon or get rid of the car....By motor swap i mean 3 liter...its the cheapes alternative to haveing a factory motor put back in.
And you get more power out of the 3 liter....ANd do me and Jonny a favor.....STOP DRIVING IT!!!!
Hes right though, somehting may be seriouly wrong with your car and you should not drive it for your safety, others safety and so you don;t get stranded somewhere.

EDIT: Since we posted at the same time......I can understand it being your only means of transportation....but the more you drive it the worse things are going to get...and then things may get even more expensive.
He suggested it to save you money and a possible bigger head ache!!!!! Which i can almost gaurentee you will have.

Poor excuses don't bring any sympathy. I only have one car too, but when the car is down, it's down. Find a different mode of transportation...maybe the Nike express. The only reason I didn't say it was the bearing is because he hasn't mentioned a loss of power and he is still driving it. If it's not the WP, my guess would be a bearing.

...my fault jonny....damn this is bad...i wouldnt notice a loss of power as i have not given it power this whole time, im shifting before 1500...so you think this is something that can only be fixed with a 3 lit conversion...i don really know much about bearings and all...maybe i exagerated the sound....it is a quiet rattle at high revs...only really able to hear it with a slight amount of throttle, as the engine is too loud to hear it at wot...i don think its as bad as you think it is....but i don really know much so please more suggestions

I have to agree with you, its very blunt and stright forward (a little harsh  ) but it is truth, when my car is down i walk, take the bus or ride my bike.
Im not agreeing with Jonny to be an ass...he just makes a good point in my opinion.

Low on oil...the V6 take 6 quarts...a hard right tunr low on oil or just low on oil in general would have caused a spunbearing.
