A loud rattling sound when you step on the gas pedal is a common issue, especially in Ford Edges. This noise typically occurs while accelerating. The rattling and pinging sounds are often associated with this problem. Possible reasons behind this issue include using the wrong fuel octane, engine overheating, incorrect ignition timing, a malfunctioning EGR valve, and computer or knock sensor issues. The EGR valve plays a crucial role by recycling precise amounts of exhaust gas back into the engine intake system to boost engine efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and reduce NOx emissions. Replacing the EGR valve usually costs between $340 and $430, with labor charges around $90 to $110 and parts costing between $250 and $320.
