Noise in Cold
Miata '91
Only when its cold, I get a rattling noise under the hood. I think it might be the lift bar that props up the hood being loose in the holder when the hood is down. Any others have this noise? |

Any others have this noise? You could tie the hood prop down and see if it stops the noise, The hood latch mechanism is known for squeaking when it has not been greased, so I guess it could rattle as well. Here is a page on tracking down noises on the miata. There is one section specifically on hood noises. http://miata.net/garage/noises.html You might also want to check things like your exhaust manifold & heat shield bolts that may be loose and expand as they heat up. Same with radiator mounting bolts, etc., almost anything can start making noises in there and they can be very hard to locate, especially when the noise goes away as the car heats up. Good luck, Pat |
