Car sounds like it's "dieseling". Don't know how to better describe it. Any idea what it could be?

you mean a rattling noise heard at idle while stopped?
it's syncro slop, normal in every manual focus.

we talked about this not to long ago over on CF:

Low Oil?

When does it happen?
Is the car cold or warm?
Does it happen at idle or throughout the RPM range?
Is it a tapping sound, a knocking sound or something else?

My suggestions check for codes and check your plugs. Other than that I can't say much without more info?

Dieseling is technical run on after you turn the engine off on a gas car.
I have a few cars.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
