To bring closure to this thread, following the last post, 1) Came up on a consistent P0153 so, I replaced the passenger side pre-cat O2 sensor. 2) Since the rattle was quite consistent from the "back of the car" from a driver's perspective, spent a ton of time researching on Catalytic Converter and complete exhaust options. I was even told that the rattle at low speeds may be due to broken heat shields - I couldn't find any, on the cats. I used stainless steel clamps to snug on the exhaust pipes coming out of the pre-cats. Car still had the rattliness... 3) Finally took it to a good mechanic friend who runs a non-Porsche indy shop and using a Stethoscope, with the car on the lift, started from under the car, around the exhausts systems, worked our way up to the components under the clamp shell and eventually to the behind the firewall, where the noise was more audible.... Turned out to be a weak Alternator pulley! Rattle, Clickey, or other ways to describe that sound - was driving me nuts for a long time.....almost a yr! Since the car was pushing 172K miles on the OE Alternator, swapped out the whole Alternator. The quietness of the motor at idle and at lights.....totally blissful! Thank you everyone, especially JFP, for the help and support here!1 point
