Re: Car Popping

When did the popping develop? Did it happen after you did the cap and rotor? Have you verified your timing is correct? Have you verified your firing order is correct?

- Firing order is right
- Have not checked timing because it seems to run really good most of the time.
- Cap and rotor not sure because it was changed the day after I got the car... but i did check the cap and rotor to make sure its tighten down good....


Thanks for getting back to me so fast

Sounds like its coming from under the hood... But it does back fire a lot when you first start out COLD.
