Best Answer

On many engines the engineers use redirected exhaust gases to quickly warm-up the engine. The valve that redirects the exhaust gas is controlled by a bi-metal spring and the valve assembly can wear out over the years and begin to rattle. It's usually on one of the exhaust manifolds. If you can find it, see if you can rattle it and if it makes a similar sound to what you're hearng.

Sorry, but I'm looking for my rattle as well. I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Someone told me it was the struts. Well, new struts, same rattle.

I've checked everything obvious.
