Why is there a rattling noise coming from my Ford Ranger's engine?

I have a 2018 Ford Ranger and recently, I've noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine. It only happens when I start the car and it seems to go away after driving for a bit. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I can fix it?

Hello Emma, the rattling noise in your Ford Ranger's engine could be due to a few reasons. It could be an issue with the timing chain or a loose pulley. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic and getting it checked out as soon as possible.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a loose spark plug. Make sure to check all the spark plugs and tighten them if needed.

The rattling noise could also be caused by a faulty muffler or exhaust pipe. I would suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic and having them inspect the exhaust system.
