rattle noise - but not from drivers side
i am getting a rattle at idle and when the engine revs down (seems to stop while reving up), i think i narrowed its location to the passenger side firewall, and after sticking my head under teh car while it was running (and rattling) it seems as if its between the firewall and the glove box, wonder if this means ints in the tranny somewhere on that side.
i did search already but all i found was drivers side stuff and this is definetly on the passenger side
any ideas?

i also have the same problem man... it sux. first i thought it was my airpump so i removed that when i put my midpipe on...didnt do anything.. it acually made it a little bit louder. it almost sounds like its comming from the turbos or something.. like a little metal ball is bouncing around in the exhaust or something....

oh i forgot to ask does the rattling stop or does it not rattle as much when the car is warmed up? mine does and i think someone told me that it was just the downpipe heating up/expanding

Ok when your car is warming up, it will give more vibration then when its warm.
Second; when you rev up and down, there is always a spot around 2000rpms when the engine gives of more vibs then at idle. Like exceleration and deceleration.
Third; I cant tell you where its coming from. Check the bolts on your computer, check the glove box(common place) check to see if you didnt throw a spare fuse in your glove box and thats what is rattling around. Just have to look. Takes time and its probably something dumb.
ALSO you can get a FEED engine brace and it really slows the vibs on the whole car, so you can do that and just leave the problem alone and cover it up with a GREAT mod

I think I have that same problem too. It rattles when I'm idle and stops when the cars starts to move.
It's definitely coming from the passenger half of the car.
I kinda thought it was the throwout bearing, but don't think so anymore.
It's really annoying.
