Why does my car rattle when taking from 0mph and/or when driving up a hill?
I drive a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid, currently pushing 164,000miles and running on 87 octane. Oil change up-to-date, no "Check Engine" light, no "Maintenance Required" light and no smoking or smell.
Rattles enough to where it distorts the reflection on my mirrors and is audible throughout the cabin. The car has very little torque as it is and it struggles to take off from a stationary position, whether it be on an uphill or flat road.
The car rattles because its struggling to take off or it struggles to take off because it rattles, I don't know, but if someone can help me out, that'd be great, thanks!
Change the fuel filter and ait filter before taking to a certified dealer
Check your engine mounts. But you may have other issues inside the engine, where a certified mechanic needs to look at the engine - may have problems with one or more valves, cylinders, spark, compression wires, etc. Insufficient information just related to engine noise without being present to look, listen or evaluate the possible causes.
- Why does my car engine rev up and down? It revs up and down all the way up to 3x rpm and down? Also when i step on the gas pedal it revs up all the way to the top 8x rpm and stays right there even when i let go of the gas pedal. Please anyone who can tell me why this happens? This is a 1995 honda civic by the way

- Taking my car into the shop for the first time (my first car and first time at a shop)? Recently acquired a 1999 Honda Accord for $1500 with only 160k. Runs great but my dad checked car and said oil is low and then proceeded to check the rest of the car and said all my fluids need to be replaced. What does that mean and what is the price for fixing this? I want to go to the shop with some sort of understanding of the prices so I know if I'm being ripped off or not.
