Hello. I have this small metallic rattling noise that is 100% consistent every time the car drives off and hits 3~5 mph. The rattle is only for 2~3 secs but very consistent. Don't misunderstand. During normal stop & go traffic. No sounds. But every morning and every time the engine is shut off and cools for about 30 minutes. Rattling noise....
Does anyone have a clue or share my problem?

it's never good to disable/start a car with any manual components such as air conditioning, radio, heat, or defrost on. the ecm of a car takes time to reset everytime you start and its warmup time is especially longer when exposed to cold temperatures. with manual components set to on, starting the car stresses the electrical brain until it has warmed up.

it can cause clicking, rattling, or vibrating in various areas of the car in certain gears or shifting occurances depending on what is straining the ecm. it can have adverse effects on many things such as the engine itself or simply an electrical connection.
