i started my car today and i reved it to about 3000 rpms and it backfired really bad, smoke came out and it smelled really bad. i just pressure washed my engine on monday and it was fine until i started it up today. i have drove it since i washed it about 4 times for about 30 minutes each and nothing happened. can anyone tell me whats wrong

Backfire or popped? A backfire is when the charge comes backwards through the intake and throttle body. If its in the tailpipe its a pop like unspent fuel. Did it pop any more after it warmed up?

hmmm.... check your oil real quick and see if it's discolored, or has any water in it, or anything out of the ordinary... if it looks ok your probably fine... how many miles you got on your car?

Make sure your plug wires are still on

^ +1, plug wires and plugs. Check odd things like the crank sensor.

If you just started and the engine was cold don't worry about it. My LT1 used to pop really loud when the engine was cold and I got on it a bit.

but would a cloud of smoke come out?

iTrader: (10)

the backfire, if a little moisture gets in the pack it will pop. I would'nt worry 2 much about it as long as it don't do it again.
