Trying to diagnose. Anyone heard this before?
Trying to diagnose. Anyone heard this before?
1993 Maxima clunks when starting but runs smooth. No CEL. 184000 miles. After the idle slows down I get a scraping or a rattling. I am not sure. Just checking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Thanks
I've been out of the Maxima game for a few years, but it sounds like a heat shield, getting resonated at idle.
I also thought I heard an exhaust leak in the second video, perhaps related?

Could be the Y pipe
could be the Y-pipe union. That union is 2 half pieces of sheet metal formed to bring the 2 pipes together and welded. Unfortunately, it heat corrodes and makes weird noises in the hot exhaust stream. My 90 GXE did that so I replaced w/ a Walker pipe from Autozone.
Or, it could be a bad bearing in one of the pulleys.
