i'd open up the hood and just listen around. since we can't really hear this rattleling, it could be something as simple as a loose bolt or like your exhaust.
you know my 94 just started doing that and it is getting worse. I used a stethascope and cannot figure out where its coming from. Lately its been doing that when on the highway and let off the trottle too. I guess when it comes loose I will know what it is.
Definitely need more detail... but first guess would be your exhaust, maybe a heat shield loose or something.

Brandon makes the most logical guess...its probably a loose exhaust part somewhere from the header probably all the way down to the cat converter. I would rev the motor to around 2 grand and listen for noise with the hood up.
my noise is for sure engine related, I have already removed the annoying heat sheild.
definetly sounds like a flux capacitor....

take a look at hte lower part of the header right before the flex pipe there is some heat shield on it thats probably rusted and hanging on a thread... i pulled mine off the other day and the entire pipe underneath desintegrated into dust :cry:
Yeah just jack up the front of the car and get under there. A pair of big channel locks should do the trick if it is in fact a heat shield.
