I am noticing this strange rattling sound in my vehicle. It is completely smooth once I start the car but this sound comes back when I start driving or park my car back.
What could it be? Manifold gasket is not leaked. I have I checked.
Hear it in the video attached.

Hello,

It sounds like the starter Bendix is broken. But, I do not see the video? Can you recheck the upload let me know if you have issues uploading.

Cheers, Ken

Yes, thanks for the video makes my job easier. It sounds like you have carbon on top of one of the pistons on that side, there are shops that can de-carbon the combustion chambers There are two things I think we should do before though, remove the serpentine belt and start the engine to see if the noise is still there. Next check for loose spark plugs on the side that is making noise. Please let me know what you find.

Well well. Thanks for looking into this Ken. Really appreciated.

Found out the issue and now I am chuckling. The Vacuum pipe was broken into half and no one seems to noticed it. Thankfully I did not waste much money on other solutions and found it just in time.

You will notice If you see the video again closely.
I have attached few pictures as well.
