Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2005Rattling noise
I have a 91 honda accord EX, makes rattling noise when the car i slowing down, like when i take my foot off the gas. There is no nois during acceleration and idle. Can anyone help me with this???. Th noise is a metallica rattle coming from somewhere in the front half o the car, but i could be wrong about that. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

The catalytic converter heat shield is loose or rusted. Just remove it and leave it off. Yes it probably is the heat shield. Go to a big box store and find some solid aluminum wire - say 12 gauge and then jack her up when she is cold - use jack stands to protect you from getting crushed - whack the exhaust pipe - heat shields till you find the rattle - wrap some wire around the rattling heat shield and twist it tight. Removing the heat shield will work but it increases the danger of fire from parking over dry grass or leaves - not a smart thing to do even with an intact heat shield. Hi Guys: thanks for your replies. I just wanted to make sure that in your 9 honda case, did u hear the noise all the time or only when the car wa decelerating ??. Thanks -- i_got_e > Hi Guys: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks. In my case, I heard it when I decelerated and sometimes when idling. I don't think it rattled as often (if at all) when the car was moving. I have been continually exposed to many hondas and it has been the same story since the late 80s. Rusted/broken heat shields. Easiest fix is to just remove it and be extra sure not to park over highly cumbusable materials! It is evan likely you scooped up a pebble or two in a rocky drive maybe? > Hi Guys: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks. |
