Can anyone plz help me

Hi, i got my 2000 maxima se about 3 weeks ago. It would drive fine while normal operation until i started hearing a noise the other day. When i would have it WOT on first gear, everything fine. But when i shifted to higher gears i would get a ratling clinging type of sound. As if metal were touching. And it feels as if it is lacking power. It usually happens between 3,000rpm and 5,000rpm. Anyone have any idea on what this can be. I can probably give a better explination but i would have to drive the car and come in right away to explain what i hear. The sound is like metal clinging and ratling. Any help??

most likely your engine is pinging and you need new ignition coils... very common problem...
