Default mysterious rattle sound from engine bay

so, my friend and i replaced the headlights on the weekend. we removed the front bumper and also removed two bolts from the bumper absorber bar in order to take out the headlight. we put everything back in place and now when the rpm rev up to 1-1.5k, i hear this rattle sound coming from engine bay.

He didn't ask anything. Read his post and see if you can find a question in there.

Have your friend rev up the engine, and you go to the front of the car and listen for any strange noises. Try to narrow it down. The "engine bay" is a big place when trying to find a noise.

Yea, look around the engine bay for strange sounds.
Seriously, listening is probably the only way. If something is rattling, you can hear it, but it might not be moving enough for you to see it.

of course theres no question there, b.c theres no question mark.. if i put a questin mark after some of his sentences i bet i can give u the question..... Its just common sense to know he was asking a question.

None of those are valid questions. It's like he would come here and ask us if he put the headlights on or if he hears a noise. If you can find a better question, post it. And I do know if a sentence is a question, even if it doesn't have a question mark. For example: "do you have any idea what had gone wrong" is in question format, so obviously, it's a question. None of his sentences were questions.

dont have to prove you wrong.. i got common sense.


i hear this rattle sound coming from engine bay?

alot of people would see that as a question if that question mark was there on the orginal post, and i know for sure u wouldnt have been a smart *** about it if he did have that question.. That question mark indicates hes asking about the rattle sounds.. so u just proved ur own self.. and dont talk to me about thats not proper english, bs.... no one speaks it ..

again its all in the commmon sense..

this isnt a argue fourm, he needs help and im not gonan ruin his post and get it locked b.c u dont have common sense. So say what u want dont matter to me.


Hope someoen can help him out

Can't you see the sarcasm in my posts? It started with my first post here. I'm not here to argue about sentence/question structure. And in case you haven't noticed, I did give the OP advice on how to troubleshoot the problem.
