fastbird232 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Kind of a rattling sound from the engine bay during any acceleration. Sound familiar to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joberlee Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 exhaust heat shield? What car, engine, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah that sounds like the noise my 88' was making. For me it was a sign that there was enough corrosion to loosen it and eventually the pipe coming off the exaust manifold and down to the catalytic failed. This was on a 2.8L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 '95 GTP. My first thought was exhaust related, because it only happens when you get on the gas at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joberlee Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Look at the heat sheild on the cat. The easiest way to fix it, if it's loose it to put a really big hose clamp (wormgear clamp, or several put together) around the sheild and tighten until it doesn't rattle anymore. Mazda and Ford actually did this as part of a service campaign on Explorers and Navajos. Edit: fixed my tired half asleep spelling. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks, bud. But it already does rattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
