"Vehicle noise: Rattles or buzzing from under the car may result from the heat shield being too close to the active torque transfer system (ATTS). (1997)"

when does the noise is made when driving me more detailed about the noise maybe then people will help

its like a buzzing or constant rattle thats i hear when crusing under vtech...it almost sounds like the valves would but they arent loud at all when im idleing.

U shouldnt have any problems with taking the heat shield off, u could take it off and try cruising with vtec and if it still makes the noise then put it back on. But it might be ur exhaust i might be wrong.

sorry, what i meant by under vtech was before it kicks in.

but still try taking the heat shield of and cruise around and if its not it pu it back on.

thanx...i took it off and it was still making the noise....im starting to think it is the valves so i booked it in next week for a valve adjustment. hope that fixes my prob

thanx for the tips :)
