Hi!
Yes I have had that problem before with my 2000 Protegé and it was the heat shield (replaced under warranty). I was told by the dealer that the newer models do not have a heat shield anymore. ....not sure if it is just the newer Canadian models that don't have it.
Good luck!

my 99 es is also making some engine noise...but it seems to be when i accelerate and usually only when i just turn on the engine and drive aorund for a few minutes. it is also a metallic kind of rattling sound that only lasts a sec or two.. could it be the same thing?

I'm not an expert but I think it might be heatshield. Mine first started when I was coming back to town after a 3 hour drive. It was a very faint metallic sound ...almost as if air was getting blown through a hole in a tin can ...it only did it when I accelerated and only for a second.
My heatshield was not missing any bolts but instead was rusted out.
I just took it to the dealer then took one of the mechanics for a drive ...he did hear it too.
It was replaced under warranty.
I also had my ignition wires and coil pack replaced after the check engine light came on. It's running great now.
Hope that helps.

Seen it many many times, and its always the same bolt.

Is this really important and should be replaced ASAP??
or can it wait until next time i go to the dealer for something?
