Help/advice please. I'm on a road trip and about 1,200 miles from home.
car has be performing flawlessly..... until tonight. I checked into a motel for the night. Upon starting in order to move to a parking slot, there was a definite rattle sound coming from the engine. This lasted only about one second. I shut it down and restarted. Same thing. The car starts quickly there is a split second after it starts and then the rattle that only lasts about one second. I popped the hood. All...
