Weird back fire pop noise happens only after i have been driving for awhile. Doesnt necessarily sound like its coming from the exhaust. only does ti after the car has been driven hard and then slowing down and only once in awhile. Anyone have any ideas? Let me know

thats just excess gas being blown out the exhaust. That isn't anyhting bad at all, I actually have come to enjoy it cause people behind me tell me that they see a small burst of flame when I take the revs to around 5.5 then let off the gas. Anyway, some people might say to check the O2 sensor, so I'll do it for them. Some also might ask if you took off your catalytic convertor, so I'll ask it for them. Some might say to do a tune-up, :hammer: I wouldn't say that.

:D I hava the same symptoms with my car, and I have had freinds tell me i shoot flames out the back as well. I'm glad to know it's nothing to worry about. But is there anyway I can control wehn to do it. It usually happens when I'm just slowing down, after a kind of hard run on the freeway, but i'de like to be able to shoot flames. Eithere way I'm having fun.;)
