Hello, I have a 01 mitsu eclipse spyder with 75000. I have the base 4 cyl engine and an auto trans. I've owned it since new and love the car. Recently I'm getting a rattle when stopped while in drive, like at a red light or drive through. It sounds to be under the hood on the driver side. If I shift to N or P, it goes away. It's quite annoying. My first amateur guess is engine mounts, but I think I replaced at least 2 of them a couple of years ago. Any helpful ideas? Thanks. :lol:
