My Honda-only mechanic said that it's normal for older civics, something about the valves being a little loose and the oil not getting to them very quickly. He gives the same advice as the others, drive it gently until it warms up. Nate

	Dear friends, Before I am posing this question I read through all issues related to noise and nothing exactly fits my case. I have a 98 Civic with 60,000 miles on it. This is my first issue with Civic. I have done regular oil changes and maintenance so far. One bad habit of mine, never heating the engine before starting to drive in winters. I thought it was applicable to only old cars and did not relaize my new car is getting old too Of course I have changed my habit since 2 weeks. 3 Weeks ago I started hearing a rattling noise when I accelerated from start. When I took my foot off the gas pedal it disappeared. It does not happen when I am driving at constant speed but only when I press on gas - almost always. My wife says the sound is in fact very metallic rattle to hear from outside. I thought I was late on oil change but even I had that done it has persisted. Kindly advise me or give me hints. I want to be educated before I show up at repair center. If you can recommend any repair centers I appreciate that too.

I thought it was applicable to only old cars and \| did not relaize my new car is getting old too OK, at the risk of starting a religious war, I would like to state that there's absolutely nothing wrong with not warming up the car. The engine's most stressful times are when it's too cold; therefore, getting it up to nominal temperature quickly is imperative. The best way to achieve this is to start driving it gently immediately after starting it, without flooring it until it has reached nominal temperature. Excessive idling will only warm up the engine very slowly, and therefore subject it to more stress than actually starting to use it right away. Plus, it's better on the environment. But that's not what you asked... \|. 3 Weeks ago I started hearing a \| rattling noise when I accelerated from start. When I took my foot off \| the gas pedal it disappeared. It does not happen when I am driving at \| constant speed but only when I press on gas - almost always. "Rattling" is a very loose term and it's hard to guess. However, if you think it could match "pinging" or "knocking" (which does sound metallic), then it could be that your engine is knocking. It usually happens under load, and can have several reasons. Perhaps the two most common ones are bad batch of gas (try the next higher octane rating at the next fillup, if it goes away it's knocking for sure), or a timing that's too advanced. Did you ever check/adjust the timing on the car? Of course it might be some totally different rattling. Maybe others have other suggestions...

Couldn't agree more. But that's not what you asked... Right you are. My first thought was that the noise could be from the valves. Does the "rattle" vary with engine RPM? Is it more like a regular ticking, or a random rattling? Does it disappear after the engine heats up? What weight oil do you have in the engine? How cold is it where you live? My second thought is noise from the catalytic converter heat shield. As you accelerate, the engine will move a tad in its mounts, and the exhaust system will shift a bit too. Perhaps the heat shield is loose and rattles under acceleration?

The heat shield also comes to my mind. Since the noise is described as a "very metallic" rattle I doubt it is coming from inside the engine. I'm also led away from things like exhaust leaks for the same reason. I can't think of anything very bad that fits this description - just something loose and rattling. Mike

	Hey futuralogic, I think mike is right... I had the same from on my civic 98.. The rattle comes from the heat shield under the car (near catalytic converter), usually one of the hinges has broken off, very easy to fix and your local garage or what I did: took it off! Keep on driving!

Yesterday I took to MIDAS location and found that bolts had been rusted and shield was loose. They put a clamp. It cost me just $6. I am so glad it was not a big problem!
