95 Civic EX Problem

[harwood39]

The noise is only when im not on the gas. if im on the gas i can hold it at 3000 and it doesnt make it. It doesnt make it when im excellerating through it.

maybe it is from your v-tech kicking in.....haha j/k

[Schwanger]

Does the motor have to have a load on it in order to make the noise?

[harwood39]

Nope, i figured out that its a heat sheild. dont know what one, but is a heat sheild.

[harwood39]

Ha Ha...I figured out what heat sheild it was...It was the one under the cat...It fell off today...NO MORE RATTLING

[out there]

whoa... you still have a cat? that's your problem

[harwood39]

Ya ya ya...Im getting rid of the cat soon...Im gettin cold air intake this week tho

[PSiedTSi]

actually i dont think i would get rid of your cat...youll lose too much backpressure and lose your lowend "grunt"

anyone else back me on a 1.6ltr N/A motor that it might be beneficial to keep it?

[Guest]

I will back you on that one, you will lose torque on the bottom end if you remove your cat. On a turbo on the other hand, it is a great idea.

I will agree with you on that. I tried it on an integra once...there are a few of you on here who know that story.

im definatelly keeping the cat. The next thing im doin is Intake. When is the next street legals at sabin? I want to do some runs with my car the way it is so i can see how mods improve it.
