I know I have seen over on the 80s cool yahoo board a write up about using a couple pipe clamps hooked togeather to solve the problem. Well now I have the problem myself and cant find any info. Anyone got any easy fixes?

Well......thats good cause I am not one of those fancy "rocked" scientist anywho.
The reason I asked which one is because I tapped on all of them and and any other heat shield I could find any nothing really sounded "loose". The rattle I get sounds like a heat shield but is only heard sometimes on quick starts.

Good to see you have a sense of humor

The problem is with the quick start. I only do a quick start if in a hurry, otherwise I let it crank for a good 2-3 minutes for a long start.
A 'quick' start..versus what a 'long' start? WTF?

Is that how you relate to a quicky?

Ok, I guess I have spell it out for ya and use it in a sentence.....
"I had to start out quickly at the stop light because the guy behind me was honking"
"quick start" ie punch it or "drop the hammer" if you are a Tom Cruise\Days of Thunder fan.
I thought I read somewhere in a thread that this board was suppose to be so well educated?
Or maybe that was the range rover site
