78956, backfire at high rpm Posted by shybuck, Aug-12-04 05:30 PM
Well to day I noticed that at about 5500 or higher my engine backfires once. It runs perfectly fine and drives perfectly fine. Even after backfiring. What the hell is going on.

I have never heard the srt-4 exhaust. It does sound like a gun shot though.

check or change your plugs and make sure they are gap properly

Check out your wires too, are they old?

I hear back fires at Drag strips all the time especially when waiting at the tree. Even I back fired, I didn't worry. Just like everyone said, it doesn't hurt to check for anything wrong.

I have a set of msd plugs and coil. Both less then a year old. I use the ngk plugs I usually change them every year and it is about their time. What gap do u think I try with the new mods. Cause it might need to be closer. I am running on stock gap But I noticed sometimes there seems to be a big lag in power when I mash the pedal. Like it didn't burn it off right.

Before changing the plugs, try running some of the mopar combustion chamber cleaner. Could be the valves not seating properly. I had backfire in my intake and exhaust. It fixed both.
