2000 Dodge Intrepid rattling sound at idle

Nov 25, 2006 2 Replies

Hi. Thanks in advance for reading this. I'm new here and hoping someone might be able to help me solve a problem I am having with my 00 Dodge Intrepid. The car runs great, but when I start it up and when I let it sit and idle, I get this loud rattling sound almost like the sound a diesel engine makes at idle. I swear something has to be rubbing somewhere, but I can't find the problem. Any suggestions?



could also be a stone in a heat shield somewhere or a heat shield that has a cracked weld. I've had both at one time or another either could make a rattling sound.
