strange occurance so im on the highway with my friend having some fun, everything was all fine and dandy until i hit 4500-5000 rpms, then it started to backfire. my clutch is slipping pretty badly, and what im hoping is that maybe when it started to slip, the car notice the rpms rising, and me not accelerating like i should and dumped too much fuel/air and messed everything up.
but, i need to add its happened before...sorta. after i did the headers and true duals, the car ran good for a few days or so with a small tune. and it started to back fire whenever i would go wot and sometimes at idle. resetting the computer fixed that. but this is different, it doesnt do it all the time at wot or at all at idle...only intermittantly after 4500-5000 rpms..
