rattling sound under intake.
So this is driving me nuts. I'm a frigging car mechanic, and I can't find my own problem.
This normally happens on card starts. SO maybe EGR?
Here is the problem. When I start up the car, Sometimes something under the upper intake rattles. It comes and goes, lasting between 30s and a couple minutes. It normally does it on cold starts, but I have also had it do it while warm.
It sounds like a bad PCV, but it isn't. Is there something else under the intake that runs on vacuum, or another pvc?

Re: rattling sound under intake.
Well if its the oil splash gaurd u will have to remove the intake to check. I read the TPI manifold splash guards were bolted/screws in. The carb intakes had a press fit rivit looking fastener. But if your bolts/screws are loose that tin oil splash guard would rattle pretty good.
