Re: Heat Shields on Exhaust Manifold Loose and Rattling

Hmm.... you only get the rattle when start and stop the engine? It doesn't rattle after the engine is started? Even if you open the hood, and hit the throttle, no rattle?

Kinda sounds to me like it might be doing that "blowback burnoff misfire" thing engines sometimes do when the PCV is busted. Might want to check it. All you have to do is remove the PCV valve and shake it, if it it rattles, it's good.

Any other ideas Yogi?
