another problem thread Okay just fired up my camaro, which has been down for a year or so. My problem is when its running every so often it kinda pops coming out of the exhaust. It does it at all rpms. I'm thinking it may be a exhaust valve sticking. Any opinions? Thanks

I wouldn't think it was that as it is not consistant nor is it really often. It is only every few seconds at idle and speratic when it happens. However I will confirm they are correct this afternoon.

Now that may be a possibility for sure. I took out the donky dong on the elbow and I'm not sure I sealed it good! So the mass air would read less air than its getting right? How would that cause the popping? Lean?

Ignition could be poor. Gas maybe bad?
As far as backfiring from intake, yes most likely it is from a lean condition, however not really prevalent unless leak is under vacuum in the plenum rather than intake from the TB.

where would you start looking at the ignition? The dreaded opti? I replaced the coil befor I parked it last year. Being it is only popping a little do you think it might just be the cap and rotor?
