Nasty Rattle in Front End When Engine Shuts Off
Heat shield(s), dry engine mount rubbers. If you go out and watch your engine when someone turns it off, you see it "shudder" a bit. If there is something slightly loose, or bent out of shape or dry rubber bushings, this shudder produces enough physical engine movement to cause any of these things to make its own characteristic noise. You could go absolutely nuts trying to zero in on it and stop it.

Is it a jiggle or is the engine running on and detonating? This was common in pre-fuel injected cars. Contaminants in the cylinders ignite any residual gases after the engine has been turned off and it sounds like a fairly clunky rattle.
