backfire ? So i just helped my friend put headers on his car. And every now and then the car backfires. Usually its at lower speeds/lower rpms. Its pretty random tho. Is it just due to a the deleting of the oxygen sensors? It seems to run fine. Sometimes theres slight hesitation from going from a stop and acclerating. But once your above 1500 it seems to be ok. When i put headers on mine, mine never really backfired even without a tune.

His does it while its warm aswell. He drove from his house to mine....roughly 20-30 min. And when he was pulling in he gave me a friendly lil rev. and it backfired. He said his rev was from 1500-about 2500-3000. Anyways his plugs are fine. and wires are good. It doesnt havppen all the time tho. Just kinda random thing.

I tried to change my headers with the spark plugs in and ended up with backfiring too, lol. I cracked a plug. Every time I got on it at all it would sound like gunshots through my open headers, lol.
I changed the plugs and it was good.
I still get little backfires when the revs come down, but that's normal. Just need a tune, we're probably both running rich as hell.
