Rattling after shut off ...

Tonight I had the hood open, started the car, and warmed her up to operating temp, then I went to shut her down, and once I pulled the key out, I got out of the car, and heard a vaccuum sucking noise, followed by a slight rattling, clicking noise coming from the right corner near the firewall. I started her up again, just to see if it'll do it again, and she did. Does this sound normal??

Mine clicks for...2-3 secs after I shut it off, I believe its normal, and it has something to do with the throttle body?? I know for sure that it is completely normal tho...just don't know for sure what it is..

It's norm. I was worried about the same thing when I got my 1st 2k Max. Even went so far as to take it to my local mechanic who assured me it was kool and showed me that it was comming from the throttle assembly IIRC. Car catching it's breath I guess

Thanks much!
