43240, POPping noise from exhaust... Posted by bokchoi, Jan-31-03 02:46 PM Hey hows it going everybody...well, recently my exhaust has been throwing out some loud popping sounds out to the muffler...it doesnt happen all the time but occasionally when I hit the gas. It never happened before. But for sure, when I hit reverse, it just keeps on popping...but the my main point is why is my exhaust making popping noises? (kidna like a miniature explosion)...

Posted by Nitrous_RS1997, Feb-01-03 07:19 AM Sounds to me like you are running too rich at moments. this could be caused by faulty ignition components( spark plugs,coil pack) or you may just have an O2 sensor thats going bad. hard to tell for sure without a CEL. www.TeamKLR.com 1997 Silver RS 12.3@118mph,20psi, race gas(drag radials) Wiseco 10.5 Pistons Eagle Rods T3/T4 Turbo Custom FMIC Greddy Exhaust 440's
