Is the rattling sound coming from the exhaust? I'm wondering if perhaps you have a loose catalytic converter. P0300 (multiple cylinder misfires) and P0306 (cylinder #6 misfire detected) are probably the cause as to why the car is sluggish, shakes, runs rough and lacks power. Make sure to take a close look at your ignition system (spark plugs, ignition wires, coils...). A spray bottle filled with soapy water can help you find voltage leaks on the wires and coils. Just spray the wires and coils and look for arcing. Replace any component that arcs. Other causes can be fuel injectors, vacuum leaks...).

SOURCE: Rattle/Vibration from front of vehicle when idling at stop

Hi and welcome to FixYa. Please try this:
GO out to the car, and lift up on the hood. Does it raise a bit and rattle? If so;
Open the hood, and look at the perimeter of the front radiator support. You will see 2 small rubber thingys, that look like that they are screwed onto the metal that is holding the radiator. Unscrew them a little, and close the hood. Pull up on the hood and see if the rattle goes away. If not, repeat unscrewing the rubber things until the lift disappears.

A FixYa rating (4 blue diamonds) would be greatly appreciated for my assistance.

SOURCE: idle too low on hot starts 2001 Avalon

Sounds like you idle air control valve is going bad. They start acting up on a hot engine due to sticking or high resistance through its internal windings. It will get to the point where the engine will stall every time you take your foot off the gas.
I suggest getting it replaced and the throttle body cleaned at the same time since it will need to be removed to replace the IAC.

SOURCE: 1999 Toyota Camry V6 idles rough and stalls after

yes it could be a fuel related problem, when was your last tune up, it could also be a spark issue, old or corroted spark plugs will sometimes not put out the correct amount of heat to ignite the gas correctly till it runs for a while, if the check engine light isnt lit, it will almost have to be something simular to this

Rough running 1997 avalon

Get the ignition timing checked and adjusted if required. Also for the V6 equipped Avalon the bank-2 sensor is located on the front close to the radiator, Get it replaced if it has crossed the manufacturer's limit.
