Default Rattle coming from the front at idle

My 97 Civic rattles when idle at a stop light for example. Give it a bit of gas, and it goes away. It sounds like something loose in the dash, but I don't know.

Any ideas?

Could be anything man. I once had a rattling noise after I installed a front strut bar on my EK. It turned out to be one of the coolant lines near the throttle body was vibrating against the bar. (I think I had messed with the line and left it slightly out of whack.)

I guess all you can do is listen and try to track the noise down. Touch different parts of your interior when you hear the noise, and see if it goes away.

Yeah, I know. It just make my car sound old. Maybe I need a loud exhaust to drown out the rattle.
