shotgun Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Soo lastnight on my way home my car started to act like it wanted to die at idle. I just had the plugs changed last weekend. It has a strange rattling noise when accelerating. No power lost or anything. changing the oil now and cleaning the throttle body. Any suggestions or anyone want to check it out. It has 171,xxx miles on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 So, all the plugs still tight? Probably want to pull them and make sure they still have all the pieces-parts they came with and are gapped correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 if its the inline six and its rattling check the waterpump/ fan clutch for play and have the cam phasor inspected they both like to randomly die and both can cause a rattling sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
