Sounds like the carbon canister but to be sure, check your oil level, you can get a rattly sound from the VVT chain if the oil level dips a bit.

Could be the carbon canister but sounds more like one of the coils arcing out on the rocker to me and as stated above is the warning to check low oil or is it oil pressure warning?
