my 94 explorer has a bit of a chatter when its at 2500-3000 rpms and thats it, and it seems to me that it will only do that when its warm outside. it runs strong and it has 153xxx miles on it. i was told that it is called catalytic converter chatter from a friend that used to work on explorers alot, and he said that the internals in the converter shrink with causes it to do this. i have no idea about it. Could it be something with the timing chain and if it is, is it a normal type of problem? like timing chain rattle or something. like i said i dont know anything about these things so anything will help. or is it something else that can be fixed. thanks
 
All of the timing chain noises I have heard were the chain hitting and rubbing on the chain cover.. It would be hard to mistake that sound for one coming from farther back under the vehicle.
