Probably your serpentine belt tensioner on the 2L. Over time the tensioner spring does not hold the proper tension on the belt, rattle is most evident on startup on a cold engine. Extremely common to fail, we include the tensioner along with belt replacement on all 60k major services if they have not already been replaced previously. Simple R&R of belt and tensioner should take care of it if diag indicates that is where your rattle is coming from.
