i was messing around today, and i think my idle is too low...

the car idles below 500rpm in park, d4 and in neutral... when i give it some gas and raise the idle to around 700rpm the rattle goes away.

ok now its comming from the drivers side. so the blower motor theory is out

here is a vid. its getting really nasty now.
i cleaned my iacv the other day, and it went away for two days. but my iacv is goin bad, so my idle is fluctuating




what do ya'll think????

i fixed it. my alarm siren was resting on my IACV.. thus transfering engine vibrations to the fire wall

the rattle on the passenger side doesnt bother me. I always have the radio on, so i dont hear it. the one under the driver side was louder than the music, thats why i wanted to get it fixed so bad
