Hello my 97 gt has a strange rattle when it starts cold in the morning. its kinda like a sound like you have a a stick clicking in the spokes of a bicycle like whn you were a kid. once the car warms up and i drive for a little bit it dies down and i never hear again till the car starts the next day or it has sat for a real long time.

any thoughts????

Have a friend with a 98 GT that had the same problem. Turned out to be his engine mount. Don't know how much he said it was to get fixed. Hopefully you have extended warranty.
