Okay, when I put my foot on the accelerator just a little to maintain a steady speed, i hear kind of a rattle (i guess) coming from the left wheel/engine side, I also get something similar to this when i'm at a stop light. I think it might be the intake jumping up and down, I just dont know what else it can be, maybe a loose bblt or something. Should I take it to a Mitsu dealer to get it checked out or something? How much would they fix/check it for?

 

Seeing as you have no idea what the rattle is, it's sorta hard to gauge how much it would cost to repair... I would just open the hood, play with the throttle cable, until you can replicate the sound... Once you find out what it is, fix it... Save you tons of $$$ in the long run, and never hurts getting under the hood to learn something...

 

what type of intake do you have?
i have a filter stuck on the stock tube, and it used to rattle a lot. i just zip tied it.

 

I was gonna ask similiar question to cryptos. do you have the rrm sri? The heat shield will rattle if you dont have it secured.

 

could be your rusted exhaust shields? I had that problem not too long ago. So I just ripped them off, and no more rattle.

 

A lot of the time it is cat sheild or the tin around the downpipe.

******* hyper gizmo whatcha ma-callits... im agreein with everyone else, pop that hood, look around, feel around, make sure everything is secure and where its supposed to be. Still havin problems, have another head look at it, doesnt hurt to get a second look.

 

^^^+1 I had the same problem with heat shields on the stock downpipe

 

See..................

ROAD/RACE

 

Seems to have been the intake bounching up and down (I think)
I just stuck something under the filter to keep it pushed up and unable to move around, sound seemed to go away but it still squeals for some reason =/

 

Try securing it better.

 

Does it squel when you gas it? If it does it could be a loose belt.

 

ZIP TIES!!!!!!!!

and the squealing is probably a belt. what miliage you at?

 

Thank you.

I cannot believe that I just read someone say "well, it rattled because it was loose. I jammed something in there, and that helped, but it didn't fix it."

 

Well I tried tightening the bolts, but for the most part they werent that loose. Maybe I should just get a cold air intake so I dont have to secure it :P
I'm at 52k miles and yeah it squeals when I gas it (Good Guess) I think it gets more annoying when I drive in the rain (but that may be a different squeal lol)

What would I do about a loose belt? I have some extra belts in my closet I dont use I could tighten it with duct tape?

Lol thanks for you alls time so far <3
