The dist rattle is only on 20v cars AFAIK (which you don't have). See QCrazy's post.

Your timing belt doesn't have enough tension. I had a rattle that was bad enough for passengers to make worried comments. I replaced the distributor three times. The only thing that worked was a slight increase in timing belt tension.

It comes and goes as it pleases. After I posted my problem about 20 posts down, I decided to open the valve cover and see if the cam caps were tightened down to spec. But I couldn't get to it because of the rain here and I haven't heard the rattle at all today.
