I have a rat that is living in my engine compartment. How do I know it is a rat? 1. the rat turds. 2. I saw it poke its head up three times in one hour! How do I get it out once and for all? I put glue traps with a small piece of snickers bar, but so far, nothing yet! Advice is appreciated.

I'm not sure what an engine compartment is, but when my sister lived in New York, her apartment building had a lot of rats. She used peanut butter and small pieces of pastrami on wooden traps and the little glue houses. It worked for her. Good luck.
I had the same problem. Leave a little salt water and the blue rat poison out for it to eat. You can also get a rat trap and put peanut butter in it.
Eventually the rat will come out to eat and drink. And you need him out, because he will chew on everything...
I had a rat building a nest (unbeknown to me) in my air filter and it caused me car troubles! I only found it when my car wasn't starting! Get in there and clean everything out! Let her know she must nest elsewhere - it worked for me!
I suggest a live trap with more interesting articles inside -- maybe newspaper and treats. The rat may decide that the trap is actually a better place to nest.
Please do not use fatal traps. They're cruel and unnecessary. Rats are extremely intelligent and certainly feel pain just as you and I do.
