I have a 98 GS300 with 122,000 kms and it makes this tin can rattle noise when accelarating. It usually happens around 1100 to 1200 rpm when the engine is warmed up. Last week went to a lexus dealer and they could not diagnose it properly and told me to tie down the heat shields. Brought home and now I have 5 or 6 tie downs on the heat sheild and the noise is still there.
It seems to be coming from the manifold area. Could it be a cracked manifold? This noise only happens when the car is hot so I suspect the expansion causes it to rattle.
Any help?
p.s i have searched the forum.
