1993 Toyota Previa makes a rattling noise when running





I own a 1993 Toyota Previa with 163,000 miles on it. I bought it about 2 moths ago, and noticed a rattling type noise coming from under the hood. Like the fan was cliping something, or something was lose and banging together. I didin't think it was a serious problem, but it got louder and louder every day. Now it's unbearable, and I'm worried it could be a major expense. I was hoping someone on here had the same problem, or knows if this is common. The engine seems to shake more than an engine should. When I accelurate, and brake the noise seems to stop, but at signal lights it's louder than ever. Thank's for your time. Hope to hear from someone.

I have had this problem before, the first time it was discovered that the stand that support the hood was not properly secured in the clip slot.
The second time the grill was loose. Check these before going to the mechanic.

Hi my estima is making a ticking noise when driving especially when slowing down or at stand still also the exhaust is rattling.i had a new one put on eleven mths ago.im going get checked but wondering...

I would suggest getting the areas between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold checked for leaks. Your description sounds like a classic beginnings of an exhaust manifold gasket leak.

Rattling Noise

The power steering pump could be going bad. The noise coming from the catalytic converter could be something as simple as a mounting bracket coming loose, or worst case something busted internally.

Rate of gasoline usage

Make sure the vehicle has had a tune up, Spark plugs and wires. Check PCV valve. ETC. ALso may want to run diags on it with OBD code reader to see if it is pulling codes that just arent' showing on CEL(Check engine light)

V6 engine idles rough after restarting, then smooths out

My first guess would be a dirty carb/fuel injector set. Run some fuel cleaner through the tank and see if it gets better. You might have to do it through a couple of tanksful. How long since you've had a tune-up? It might just be that time.
