hey i just swapped a obd2 b16a in my ek. now when i start the car it makes this rattling noise. the sound is similar to a tab in a can of coke or something and its lightly vibrating. when i give it gas i cant hear it. but i prolly cant hear it cuzz my engine and exhaust is so loud. but when it goes back down to 1100 to 1500 rpm i hear it again. its definitely coming from the distributor area. maybe under my valve cover near the distributor. any suggestions??

bump need help

 

anyone kno?

 

HellP...my car my blow up

 

low on motor oil? tranny oil?....valve springs?...get a fuel system/injection cleaner? ..for dirty deposits.
does it only happen with clutch grabbing? does it go away if u press down the clutch?...shift linkage hitting the exhaust pipe?

 

maybe just a heat shield?

Yep It's most likely your heat shield mine doe's that too.

 

but it sounds like its coming DIRECTLY from the valve train right next to the distributor. if its the heatshield shouldnt the sound be coming from UNDER the car&gt;???? thx for the replies btw

 

more suggestions plez?
