Backfiring/popping under boost
I have had zero time lately this semester to work on my car, but lately it has been popping at boost levels above 12 psi. If I keep the boost low it's fine. I just want to know if you guys have experienced it and what the cause was.
I'm just going to guess it's too rich due to the colder air this time of year, but who knows. I haven't even had time to hook up my wideband up and check :S |

spark blowout. put in fresh plugs gapped to .028 and see what she says.

Re: Backfiring/popping under boost
No, that's not it. Spark blowout would just cause misfiring, not backfiring and loud ass popping noises.
The plugs are gapped at .025" |
Re: Backfiring/popping under boost
so when you put in fresh plugs it continues?

cold air makes you run leaner unless you're tune is offset for it.

Re: Backfiring/popping under boost
make sure your map sensor is happy. Also any cel's?

Re: Backfiring/popping under boost
No CELs, don't think there's any problem with the map sensor...

Re: Backfiring/popping under boost
How old are your ignition parts cap/rotor/plugs/wires?
