73726, Backfiring from the CAI
Posted by keg killa, Apr-29-04 05:08 AM
From about 2500 rpms, the car surges and boggs down, when I go full throttle it somewhat stutters then a huge pop noise comes from the intake. I know it can be a number of things wrong. So far i changed the air filter, fuel filter, plugs, wires, new tps and iac, new throttlebody and i yesterday I blocked off the egr at the intake manifold. Anyone have any further ideas? TIA

Backfire out the intake usually means you are running lean.

Check all the sensors above and see what happens. Also run some fuel injector cleaner through, not great for cleaning, but helps a little.

I had the same problem 2 years ago. It turned out to be a combination of plug wires, and coil pack. Cured it for me...
