Backfiring
I have an 87 with a brand new 300 crate motor. Everything runs great but
i can't seem to figure out why it backfires when your crusing at 55-65 and just let off the gas all at once. I Just replaced the exhaust system from the cat back I put a 3" pipe with just a glasspack. I was wondering if could be not putting enough back pressure on the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
I Just replaced the exhaust system from the cat back I put a 3" pipe with just a glasspack. Also check that you exhaust is tight from the engine back to the muffler, for if you are sucking in air thru a gap, it will cause it to backfire from the fresh air being introduced into the exhaust mixture. 8D |

Check fuel pressure. Could be a bit low causing lean condition...
