Rattle question

If your car has problems with the inlet manifold, is the rattle always there?

My car has no rattle at idle, but does have it at about 2.000-2.300 rev and after that it goes away.

snap, i have got a rattle or buzz at the same rev.s on my 2.0 v6 auto. and have searched high and low for it with no success. i think it is one of the many heat shields just got to find it

I went to the ex dealer and he thought it wasn't the inlet manifold or the crank pulley.

I am coming to England this week for holiday, so I hope no problems.

Usually inlet manifolds rattle at idle, and the problem is less apparent with higher RPM.
