well mine started doing this stupid backfiring sound shit after i did the seafoam. it does it in every gear when i accel. it only does it between 3800 and 5500. the tach needle jumps every time it makes the sound. also my engine sounds like a bike sometimes too
that situation you mentioned is very evident/profound in the Doedge Neon SRT-4, when they are in low gear and low rpm and fully closed Throttle, it pops and gurgles as you mentioned. Its actually spontaneous combustion happening in the exhaust when the unburn fuel mixture leaves the combustion chamber and gets in contact with the high temperature exhaust manifold/turbine housing of the turbo. Its normal. The popping happens only when u let go of the gas and now while its held down or partially open, if it happens when partially open, then its not normal, like Alex mentioned, check your distributor.Originally Posted by EX-ileAccord
PS: I have ignition problems now cuz my distributor is shot to hell. Misfires sometimes and sometimes, one of the cylinders do not fire at all.me soo sad.
ok guys, i changed my fuel filter, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, as well as the dizzy cap and rotor yesterday. but i still have the damn gay backfiring. so what else could be the problem? the only thing that comes to mind is timing
vacuum leak...... not too sure about efis though, but a vacuum leak can be critical
anyone else?
it needs a turbo maing lol. i now i always say that so shut up. lol
i think it you might have some kind of an exhaust leak and the seafoam got all the crap that was covering that small leak up and now it backfires.thats the only thing i can think of that could be happening.
well thats what i thought. until i changed all the filters and other shit and it fucking decreased the backfiring noise
i just got to get off my ass and change the exhaust already huh lol
yeah man...same here....but i need some money so im just going to do the mods that i already have parts for.
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
how was the inside of the distributor? is it mechanically sound?
well i dont know how the dizzy is. but i know when i took off the cap it was covered in brick colored dust
Monkeys CAR SOUNDS to me like it needs the valves lapped, seafoam,,, yea maybe blasted some carbon that was actully helping to seat a valve.??? Valve adjustment along with that tune up may help some more even, but wont be perfect if even just a little air leaks by. Dont get me wrong, I aint saying rebuild ya motor..
try another tank full with some BG 44K, try a couple of dealerships, of anykind or if you know a shop that uses BG products, A ford dealer, and a BMW here sells it to public, or I can get it and send , its ten dollars and some change for a can. works super good...
Remember the dodge charger 2.2, it had almost streight exhaust except cat, POS car for real, they did that pop on decel from factory.Carb dashpot adjustment helped those, jbut they had funky vacuum idle control thingy for electronic timing.,,, POS like I said.
Sometimes its just the throttle hanging slightley open, clean the throttle body too, if you have FI. Carbs. no telling , it can be a sackfull of things. but the main cause is air getting into the exhaust anywhere from the throttle thru the engine head all the way thru exhaust system.,maybe even egr not seating well. 2 cents....

damn...i was hoping that i wouldnt have to fuck with the head at all...oh well.
so what do i need to adjust the valves...besides reading the how-to. is there anything i need to buy?
A feeler guage, dont be intimidated by the procedure it is relativily very simple esp if you follow how to on forum, or copy the page outta the manual here. 12 mm short wrench and a small screwdriver. And pay close attention to what your doing, dont be like me and start out with #4 thinking it was #1 . lol brain farted, I wonder how many have accidently done that lil trick.....#1 is first one from the drivers side, lol
pull all the plugs out so you can turn the motor over with socket (17mm)wrench at crank pulley thru the plug hole inside the fender well. pull off the coil wire to so you dont get zapped, and use anti seize , just a tiny dab on the threads of the spark plugs.
I would do a throttle body cleaning on it too, use an old tooth brush to get good around the butterfly plate and behind it. when you crank iit up first you will get some sputtering and smoking at first then it will purr like a kitten once it relearns idle. Always, I mean always do one thing at a time so you know what is happening, One procedure at a time, dont do a bunch of things and then the car dont run right and you wont know which thing you did needs to be rechecked, yes.

the read dust means your distributor bearings are shot. you need new distributor.
Alex.
greeeeeat so i need a new dizzy, AND i need to adjust my valves huh. fucking awesome! lol. i might as well just park the car, save up and just rebuild
you have the same bad luck that i did this weekend with my distributor. Get another one, or if u can, rebuild urs.
i was just looking on google and do dizzy's really go for 250? damn
i coulda swore i saw em for like around 150...but i dont know...havent had to buy one yet...
just got to junkyard and pull the good one.
i know they are $20 around here.
Alex.
red dust is normal, it does not neccesarily your dist is going out. Search the Forums, somebody had a good answer what causes that. don't fix it if it aint broke !!!!!
And it depends on how much red dust and what else your seeing in there, Red dust would have to be bad bearing if that was the case, ... well is your dist bearing bad???
Sheperd could be right, but red dust is common and does not always mean the dizzy is fixing to lock up on you, or the reluctor is touching the stator thingohwhompuss, pickup coil magnaflux electrical residue.
quit freaking out about your car man, but if your car is still backfiring on acceleration, yeah, could be the dist. dude.
