Rattle noise on cold start

[drowzyGX]

Hey Y’all,

trying to identify the source of this noise before going to a shop. im hoping it’s not the cracked exhaust manifold, but with my luck, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. Also found out today I no longer have heat on the drivers side.



Any thoughts on this noise?

Hmmm... Maybe climb underneath it and start it up? Sounds like it gets a lot louder when you get to the right rear side of the engine bay. Maybe a heat shield that came loose? Does the noise go away as it warms up?

It just started raining here, but once it clears up, I will go out and check. If it’s something as simple as a loose heat shield, that would be such a blessing.
