Check to see if any of the " clamps " holding the metal heat shields to the exhaust

pipe have snapped ( on my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT I have replaced 5 of the 6 clamps

with worm and gear clamps over the years ) Each time one of those narrow little metal

bands breaks I would get a tinny rattle from the exhaust that I would notice most at

idle

My 1997 Ford F-150 when you rev up the engine there is a rattling noise?

Where is the rattling from, the engine compartment or under truck? Have you recently had it off-road where you could have picked up gravel in your heat shield on the exhaust? If it's from the engine, it could be a loose bracket. Get someone to revv up for you while you get under the hood, and just listen and you can narrow down your options.

When start car loud pop noise then when driving a rattl from exhaust but not all the time.also smell from back of car when ive parked up. 1.2 fiat punto 52 plate.?

The loud pop noise when starting your Fiat Punto could indicate an issue with the ignition system or an exhaust leak. The rattling noise while driving suggests that there may be loose components in the exhaust system, such as a heat shield or a damaged muffler. The smell from the back of the car, especially after parking, could be due to exhaust fumes escaping or an overheating issue. It's advisable to have a qualified mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose and resolve these problems.


How do you stop the rattling on a Chevy astro minivan It doesnt really make a sound when you first start it up but after it runs for a while the rattling gets loud sometimes its louder then others?

Check your catalytic converter, as it rattles badly when the insides break apart. Get a replacement at any parts store. If it is welded in, you will have to cut it out, close to the converter on both ends, with a hacksaw or torch (be careful with a torch!). Use whatever reducers and clamps are necessary to make the replacement fit tightly, make sure there are no exaust leaks. Or, take it to a shop that does exhaust work.
