Q: Rattling in engine and won't turn on
I was driving my car and I realize that I had it in low. I drove about 30 seconds in low at 40 mph until I realized why it was being so loud. I pulled over and turned it off. I turned it back on and it didn't want to start and there was a rattling under the hood. I proceeded to drive to see if it was okay, it would rattle out of first gear and was fine when I was driving. When I came to a low idle, it would shut off on me and eventually wouldn't turn back on.
My car has 113000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
