Why would a car misfire?
#16
Ever since I installed a helix catless down pipe, my car has been back firing quite frequently. On another note I caused my car to misfire cylinder #3 launching it too hard somehow. This was when my only mod was a leaking helix up-pipe, 3/16th mod, and snorkel delete. I had to drive the car in limp mode to a mechanic.

no a back fire is not good and neither is a misfire...you might be talking about a after fire where unburnt fuel hits the hot exhaust pipe and burns and shoots a flame out the end...

there are also stories of "cursed" cars that cannot shake the misfire code no matter what is tried... reflash, new coils, new plugs, new crank/cam sensors, etc.

If this is the case would it be a cracked piston or warned rings? I'm having the same problem.

Ken,
Have you ever had that problem? I only have 18k miles and removed my lighten crank pulley but still getting a misfire code. I will try and replace the plugs to see if it resolves the problem. If this doesn't work I will get a compression test.
