    I'm hearing a rattling sound from my 1999 Civic LX, a frind of mine removed
    the heat shield over my muffler as it was literally not being held on by
    anything. There is still a rattling, probably from a heat shield further
    up, and now my Malfunction Indicator Lamp is on. From what I've researched
    on the net, it sounds like my catalytic converter may not be working.... Any
    suggestions?

    You need to read out the code and see what the light is for. Its probably
    just a coincidence unless you damaged one of the O2 sensors removing the
    heat shield.

    Funny that you mentionned... I had my heat shield (for my catalytic
    converter) removed a few months back and now my "Check Engine" light came
    on. Hope it ain't related....

    And I heard that most honda civic's has this problem, why hasn't Honda
    addressed this ??
