My Toyota Mr2 Spyder is rattling

My car has starting rattling. My boyfriend looked because we thought it might be the muffler/exaust. But it wasnt. I cant make it rattle by reving the engine in park, but it does it when driving, all the way till 3 gear. And only does it after you change gears and push the gas in to go...

Pound on the catalytic converter, you will probably find your rattle inside, if so, you will need a new one, also check for any loose clamps or rings that have come loose, just pound on your exhaust with the side of your fist, you should find your rattle, or sometimes the heat sheilds above the exhaust come loose.

I have a 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder with only 55,000 miles. It is completely stock, no mods. Recently it has lost much power and has a rattling noise above 3k rpm. Also it won't rev past 5k. Any ideas?

Get ECU error codes read at your favorite auto parts store (ask nicely). That should give you a starting point. This is the first thing a dealer would do.

Replace the entire section before and after the flex. Be sure to look into excessive engine movement, that may have caused this failure. Welds will fail again, quickly.

Mr2 Spyder rattling noise from engine

the noise is the heat sheild area that is rattling around i have the same problem. I was told it was 'pinking' whihc is when the fuel is not quiet right ( as toyota s are designed to run on 95 octane ) but i had metal parts that where loose around the heat sheild and i had them welded back on. Get them mechanics to have a look - it cost me about £60

MR2 after 2 mins of starting the smt light comes on.

it sounds like the clutch actuator is worn out.
The clutch actuator has 2 parts:
1. the clutch master cylinder
2. the clutch slave cylinder.

Try to replace the slave cylinder first, and if it is still not solving the problem, then try to replace the clutch master cylinder

Good Luck
