What causes an engine to backfire through the intake?
An engine backfire occurs whenever the air-fuel mixture in your car combusts somewhere outside the engine’s cylinders. This can cause damage to your car’s exhaust or intake if left unchecked — and it also means that your car’s engine isn’t making as much power as it should, and is wasting lots of fuel.
What causes popping in exhaust?
When an engine is running rich, it has too much fuel and too little air, which slows down the combustion process. When combustion doesn’t happen in a timely manner, the exhaust valve opens while the air-fuel mixture is still igniting, causing this explosion to “spill” out of the cylinder, making a loud popping noise.
Why does my car sound like its popping?
There are several engine components that can start making a “popping” sound when something’s gone bad, including: Dirty air filter. Spark plugs that are worn or corroded. Defective spark plug wires.
Why does my truck pop when I accelerate?
