Subject: Re: HELP!  "rattle" coming from '87 900T 16v


hello, sorry for lack of detail in description of the sound. it doesn't sound very "deep", but has a light tinny noise to it. almost like dragging a tin can under the car, but just a hair more "solid", and happens moving or sitting. it is also irregular and comes and goes at will, though I can make it show up/disappear (as mentioned) by revving the engine slightly. it doesn't have any cyclical behavior at all. -- Nate t.
