Exclamation help 96 jeep engine making rattle noise

its making a slight rattle noise sounds like its coming from the bottom close to the trans. was thinking it might be a spun rod bearing but the rattle stops when i give it gas. it only does it when it is in idle. what could it be??? it has 200k miles and was rebuilt 25k ago
