chuck Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have a 1995 4runner and it just started to make a rattling noise in the engine. It sounds like a bolt rattling around in side. When it is idling I can not hear it but when I rev the engine it starts to rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Check the bolts in and around the exhaust manifold, they could be loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelaw Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 When you say "inside" the engine, is that what you really mean? Take a screwdriver with a long shaft and a rounded end and put the blade on the valve cover(s) and put the round end of the handle in your ear. You've just made a makeshift stethoscope. Listen for anything going on in there. Have someone else rev the engine a bit while you listen with the screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
