Engine is rattling - Please help!
Discussion
I have a engine rattle in my Pontiac Grand Am 1994 edition. It has a 3.1 litre V6. Whenever I start the car there is a rattling noise and I opened the hood to see if it was the fan hitting the shroud but it isn't. The rattle is coming somewhere underneath the whole engine. I don't really know that much about cars but I do know that this rattle has gotten worse. Originally it used to come and go but now it seems whenever I turn on the car the rattle is there and it stays there everywhere I drive. Please help! Any information could be useful.
I would look at the exhaust system first all kinds of joints, heatsheilds, etc. that can rattle. Get under your car and tap on the exhaust system with a rubber mallet or the handle of a claw hammer (when cool of course), if it is the exhaust it should show up easily.
