I have a rattling sound when I accelerate. I did a search and I found many threads. Its seems this is a very common problem. The most common answer was a loos timing chain...which is a pain in the a** to fix and expensive. This seems like a problem that Nissan "should" take care of (but won't), since it is defective and should last longer than 5 years, 50000 miles.

Who has the same problem?

What is the easiest way and cheapest to alleviate the rattling noise?

Thanx.

 

Turn up the volume on your stereo

sorry. but it its the easiest way. I havent had this problem with my 95 w/ 100k no the odo. if i hear anyting, i will let you know

sounds like your cat bracket is loose.. so that means that everytime you get on the gas.. the engine flexes.. and the y pipe moves.. sounds like its coming from the dash? if so it could be your cat bracket..

 

I agree with Sprint...if it's coming from the dash it's the bracket. Same problem here.

 

It is coming from the engine. Investigating right now. Gonna have a mechanic look at it. All characteristics of a loose timing chain.
