Hey guys,
Thank you in advanced. I need some advise and help. I am stumped on this and I have tried my best to troubleshoot.
The link below is the rattling I am experiencing during cold engine startup. Once the engine is warm, it does not come back until I park it over night or if it is a very cold day. I live in southern California.
I tightened all the bolts to the intermediate heat shield and still the same. I put a screwdriver to the heat shield no rattling...I don't think this is a heat shield issue.
The noise is loudest on the passenger side around the pullies. You can hear in the video the rattling get louder around the pullies.
Can this be needing a valve adjustment? Maybe a valve making the noise?
Oil is fresh and full. Lots of tranny fluid. I do not experience any other problems while driving..it runs great. Just the rattling on startup. Im worried.
2007 EXL with 70K miles. I just bought the van. I will stab my heart with a spoon if this is an internal engine problem that will be involved to fix. I'm and experienced diy'r but I need your help or ideas.
Many thanks.
