funny rattling noise
I have a strange rattling noise that happens when in 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th and have the pedal down about 30%. It is very tinny but loud. My friend said it sounded like knocking but my other friend said it might be my heat sheild or something.
I use regular 87 gas.
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE HECK THIS SOUND IS??
need help before warranty is up. thanks

Funny you mention you're running low octane gas as though you suspect this could be part of the problem. Does the sound go away when you run premium? I know the one time I ran 87 in my car it ran like crap.

I drive about 100 miles a day in my '02 max.....and I have found that nothing loves my max better than premium. It runs great....and I get about 360 miles to a tank of gas.

When heatshields rust they tend to flake apart then vibrate, the cheapest way to fix it is with worm clips, they are metal zip ties. It stops the rattling and it costs about 3 bucks. So if you can find where the rattling is, just put it around the heat shield and the rattling will stop. Never take a heat sheild off.
Try better gas too.

I use premium and I get about 440 out of a tank. I drive about 60 miles per day.
