The car has this rattling that can be described in most cases as a diesel engine. Eventually it gets real loud and sounds like grinding clicking sound similar to the sound of the spinning wheel on Wheel of Fortune.
At that point the car runs sluggish or jerks as it tries to go faster at which the service engine light comes on. I was told the code on it indicates a knock control sensor error. After a couple of start ups, the sound and engine problems disappear and the light remains off until the next two or three weeks when the car sounds bad. Like I said, its a thing that seems to get real bad then goes away for a day or two then slowly comes back. Also, the smell of burnt oil can be smelled. Oil change people haven't indicated anything. When I take it to mechanics, they say they can't hear anything. Mostly because the car decides not to make the noise when I take it to them.
