So did You look at the distributors yet to make sure the belt is not broken? If so it will cause all the issues You describe and the car should not be driven. It will also most of the time not kick a check engine light when broken...

Hi Jason, i also had a strange 'chatter' at those RPM'S, found it to be loose plumbing under the liner of the divers side rear wheel. Installed three tie wraps, chatter gone! Hope this helps. Royal

I'd like to resurrect this old thread to see if there is anyone who might have this problem (other than me).
I'm experiencing the exact same issue as the OP in this thread and this never seems to have been "solved". At least not here in the forum.

Pinging is a pretty unique sound. You really need to identify if it is pinging, or if it is a rattle. Muffler issue is what I first thought of when reading the OP, but this is a mechanical sound.
Does the car have a LWFW setup?
Having experienced what a failed coil is like, the car not only makes noise, it runs like cr@p.

I don't think your noise is related to a LWF. Having a LWF installed car, the gear chatter that gets into the cabin is at idle with the tranny in neutral. In that unloaded scenario, you are hearing the loose gears rattling on their shafts. Since your noise occurs off idle and under load, I believe gear rattle is not your source.

Mine makes a simlilar noise..but from a different reason I'm sure. It got always made a VERY VERY quite tapping noise..then I removed the rear seats....the noise grew exponentially. It was driving me CRAZY...then about a week ago my friend rode in the back seat...the noise completely disappeared. I jacked up the car and saw that the driver's side of my rear sway bar has a worn looking spot on the paint. My guess is that my exhaust rattles against the sway bar. No idea how to fix it. Check that out though. Just trying to help you eliminate all possibilities. ANy idea how I'd fix this noise besides putting cinderblocks in my backseat?
