Speaking of noises
When the car is cold (morning) - as I coast downhill at 35 or less - I get a light ratcheting chatter that seems to be engine RPM related and emenates from approximately the center of the firewall. Doesn't sound threatening...reminds me of a playing card in the spokes of the bicycle or perhaps a speedometer cable....any thoughts?
Thanks!

Or a slight leak in the manifold? I have no idea, but it certainly is a curious sound.
