I've developed a rather annoying rattle under
the hood. It could be a bearing in the alternator or another accessory.
The rattle starts at idle and sounds like someone sticking a playing card in
the spokes of a bicycle. If you give the TA gas, the rattle goes away at
anything above 1800 RPM or during the adding of power / throttle. Once
the engine RPM falls below 1800 RPM, the rattle returns. Since the
rattle doesn't increase with engine RPM, I believe that the problem is either
something loose under the hood or an accessory / belt about to give up the
ghost. I'll look at it Saturday morning. I still need to look for
one or two pieces of the rear interior panels as mine have been faded and
destroyed by the sun (the carpet has faded as well which is why I'm going to
go ahead and redo the interior). I've got a line on a few sets of
replacement panels (the one behind the driver's side seat can literally be
scraped apart with your fingernail, it has become that brittle with UV
exposure over the last two decades.
