This sounds like your ignition timing is awry. You'll need a timing light to verify if this is correct. If that's OK the your valve clearances may be a little loose.

I have a 425 CI 7 litre Cadillac V8 in a 1979 Diamanté. Once the engine is up to temperature a rattle like noise comes into the engine under acceleration. The noise goes when the throttle is

You need to find where the noise is coming from. On the top could be lifters, valves or low octane gas causing a ping. On the bottom could only one thing. Rod knock. The bearings for the pistons and crankshaft are worn.

What causes a rattling noise in my engine when i hit the accelerator?

"Rattling" is normally due to one of two things:
  1. On heavy acceleration, rattling is usually due to low octane fuel.
  2. If at all times, it can be due to low oil pressure.

    Rattling can also occur if the engine timing is way out specs. This will normally be accompanied by a substantial loss of power on acceleration.

2004. What are the probable causes of DTC P0430?

Here's the crux of the problem, something is plugged up somewhere and is keeping your catalyst from performing properly. I suspect that the exhaust manifold may be leaking big time and because it is, the pressure flow to the cat isn't what it should be. It's possible that a piece has been blown out of the head gasket and your engine is performing poorly. In fact, I would suggest that you run this down as it seems the most likely cause.

Because your car is hesitating and rattling when you are accelerating I suspect that the engine's pressure levels are all over the place due to the head gasket.

If you have the tools available, you can check it out yourself, but given the complexity of the Amanti's engine, I would suggest leaving it to a trained technician.

Loud rattling noise while accelerating

First thing i would try...... ISOHEET, Red bottle..... allows water to be mixed into the fuel and be burnt out of the tank.
get a good qaulity fuel injection cleaner, if you can locate the brand MALCO, i found it quite succesful..... and go with a full tank of premium fuel such as ammoco or shell......do not use yellow bottle of heet
