Cold Start- why the backfire?
I've got an 02 trans am with just under 10,000 miles. I've got a lid, maf, smooth bellows and borla adjustable with 3/4 plate (see sig). Rumor has it from a friend (also a TA owner, but has a '96) that these cars tend to backfire often. However it seems to me like almost everytime I start it up in the morning and drive off from my garage, the car backfires and its not the type of backfire from downshifting. Its the type that sounds like a M-80 firecracker went off or your lawnmower just blew up ( POP!!!). It does it from shifting from 1st to 2nd while not giving it much gas (to not wake up the neighbors at 6 am with my exhaust) If I really get on the throttle it sometimes, if rarely backfires. I've checked the wires and plugs, but WHAT COULD THIS BE??? Is it just the style of set up I have or what?? I want to get headers soon with ORY but wanted to make sure somethings not wrong with the car. THANKS EVEYRONE!!
