Default rattle from airbox while the hood is closed

hello all my 07 LLR is having a rattle noise that i cant figure out how to quiet yet. I checked the 2 mounts where the bolts go in they are on tight. I do see there is some type of rubber ring for the bolts but is there way to get rid of that noise? Should i try to find a spacer of some sort?

If you installed an intake, you did not do it correctly.

The airdoc system is very rigid and the I5 engine vibrates alot, so expect alot of the vibrations to be transferred to the airbox (the oem setup uses flexible ducting which isolates the shake from the box). The reasons for the engine vibes could be many, dirty maf/vacuum leaks/spark plugs/dirty injectors/worn out engine mounts etc...

Thanks guys, for the inputs. Found source of problem that lead to another. My battery was shot on its last leg, the terminals were shot fixed both isolated the vibration to random misfire but finally got it down to #5, plugs are brand new just changed them this past weekend so i ordered new coil packs. adjusted the doc intake car starts right up a ton less vibration, just waiting on the coils and that should button things up.

did you swap coils to see if the misfire code changed to the swapped cylinder before ordering all new coils? could be other issues causing the misfire like diry / bad valves or intake manifold leak among other things.

I have a scanner. i knew it was misfiring a little before but it was random no codes, let it run for a bit and then sure enough #5
