I have a 1994 900T convert automatic with 140k, i replaced the engine a year ago, the new engine was from a 91 SPG with 45k miles on it. Duriing the past 6 months my car has gradually developed a loud hard metalic sounding rattle, (like a blunt metal object banging on another blunt object) the sound occurs when the car is cold, and moderatly warm and comes from what the engine compartment. it only is noticed when accelerated for the first time after start up, after that their is no sound. this happens for 30 seconds, i can lift off the accelerator and the sound will go away then push it back down and that sound is rediculously loud. Does anyone have any ideas, i havent noticed any performance loss or anything of that sort, just a loud embarrising sound.
