Weird engine noise

[gst98Tfast]

Hey just today driving and suddenly when stopped I hear a random noise from engine. It's like a rattling noise and is there when idle up to 2000 rpm goes away. I know my second gear synchro is bad but do not know if that as an effect on it any suggestions to check?

Is your tranny and auto or manual. Are you sure its engine noise or tranny noice.

Not to sure like a rattling noise now. And it's manual

mine was the exact same way, all i did was replace the motor mounts and replace the spark plugs and wires. runs like new and no noise

When you push the clutch in if it goes away maybe want to check your throw out bearing

I had that problem with with my nt eclipse rs and everytime I let go go of the clutch I t would stop rattling. It was the tranny too worn out. Hopefully its nitvthe same with you. Maybe something easy. Just follow the noise when the car is on. Youll find it.

first off does it make the noise at all while just siting there idling? or just while driving? an old trick I was taught was if there is a tick, rattle or something of the sort, you can take a 1x1 piece of wood put one end on the engine/tranny, put the other end to your ear and beable to narrow down your search for the noise by how low the noise is and were the position of the piece of wood on the engine or tranny. may sound crazy, but it works rather well.
