I may be using the wrong term but basically it's fuel not igniting properly resulting in the loud rattle and slight loss of power. Haven't had an engine light come on or any major power loss like a misfire though (yet). It sometimes idles rough and at low RPMs but not consistently.
Unless it was done by the dealer or previous owner (probably not) the plugs haven't been replaced. I didn't find anything in the manual about plugs specifically but it does recommend a "tune-up" every 100k miles or 7 years.
Really I'm close to getting a new vehicle so I won't worry about it much. In the meantime I'll just use premium fuel and see what happens. If not I'll just take it somewhere (again I'm not really a car person)
