  • Rattle when Idling....

    I have a strang rattle when I'm Idling in gear. When I put the car in neutral the rattle goes away. I'm checking tomorrow to see its b.c my headers are loose. Does anyone have a clue of whats causing the rattle??? Thank you very much.

    check your tailpipe mounts (the brackets that hold your tailpipes to the car)
    my screw worked loose and took me a week to find it

      The rattle sounds like its coming from infront of me and I can feel it through the gas pedal at around 1500 RPM. Could it be the place that put my headers on F***ed up???

        i had this problem too. the heat shield on my cat was rattling away & was hitting the floor above it, so i could feel it a bit. (on & off) i just tore the shield off. that's with an aftermarket cat tho...my stock cat didn't have a shield

          Well thats weird, bc I am getting that same strange vibration and rattle when I put my car in gear and I have a stock cat. Does that mean my heatsheild is ****ed up too? I also have another problem when I accelerate I can hear this hissing noise maybe from the exhaust?

            If you hear a hissing noise, it might be that your headers are leaking and you might need to have them welded.

              guys i had the EXACT same problem, the rattling while in gear, well its only gonna get worse. Its the cat. I just got a new one when Installed my headers and everythings fine now. You'd beter take action quick cause eventually the cat insides will clog your exhaust.

                  I bet the flanges didn't seal well....I had this problem too...the pacesetter bolts were too long....just take a couple extra washers and put them on each bolt....that fixed it for me. Seems to be a common problem.

                    At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
