Backfired??
First today when I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd at about 3-4k the check engine light started to flash. A mile later on my drive I did about the same but a little lower in rpms maybe and I heard this loud bang from the rear and the whole car jerked and locked up for a second. When I got home the only thing I could tell was maybe my air lid was leaking. The seal was loose and sucked inward on one corner of the lid. I've also noticed I've been idling a little rich lately, like around 13.5 I thought it was because of the headers I just installed, but maybe it was the leak in the air lid. I fixed the leak and the a/f is up to about 14.7 again. I took it around the block after that a couple times and got up to 3k with no problem. Could the lid have caused all that?
