When i start my car up in the morning I hear a rattle that sounds like its coming from the left part of the engine bay im not sure what it is.it is not a loud rattle just enough to notice. Any ideas?

Do you have a CAI? Mine started doing that a while ago, I looked under the hood and the mount that holds the CAI in place that connects to the side of the car was snapped. It's annoying at low speeds, but that's what the radio is for.

I'm getting a piece of metal from Home Depot this weekend am gonna make a new bracket for it to hold it in place.

Hope this helps.

Pop the hood and look around when you start the car.

Is it comming from where the pulley is?

Yeah I have a option pulley as do u (I belive) and do hear a screeching grinding noise comming from that area, I could not pin point exacatly where it is comming from..None of the belts looked frayed and everything looks fine but its screeching grinding noise comming from there once in awile!

Do you think this might be that rattling noise that alot of Hondas make for a minute when there driving in the morning after startup?

No thats the self check ABS noise u r talking bout...
I sometimes get a clicking from the purge solinoid and now I notice a grinding scratching comming from the option pulley, no CEL lights and car pulls like a mofo just noises driving me crazy... I hope its not the opion pulley throwing off bearings or something like that! For $25 I knew it was too good to be TRUE....LOL...

Stoned, take a look at the belts and the cp bolt. I have the same pulley with no issues.

No the ABS noise only lasts about 2 seconds. Im talking about the rattling noise Manual Hondas make for 1-2 minutes in the morning. (My car doesn't do it by the way)

Does the car make the rattle noise when you shut the car off too? Mine car makes a very light rattling while the cars running in the same spot .You can really only hear it with the hood open.When I shut the car off It gives one rattle very noticable.I dont know what it is.

Im surprised you havent heard it before since you have had civics. I have noticed it on my old 5-Speed Accord too. In the mornings or maybe when its cold out, they make a rattling noise in first and second gear. It seams like it comes from the engines or the tail pipes. It is a constant rattle that goes to the sound of the car.

You may be talking about clutch chatter. I havent had that issue on any of my cars surprisingly.

Actually, i think it comes from the vtec

I couldnt tell if it was the obnoxious exhaust or a rattle.
