Car pops and spits smoke (I know, NO WAY!!!)
Car pops and spits smoke (I know, NO WAY!!!)
I'm pretty positive this is just excess gas being burned off inside the exhaust system, but I thought I'd double check with anyone on here.
When being pushed hard or revved, my car pops when I shift or let off the throttle. I've seen several other cars do this on a dyno (a lot more than mine), and I also saw a flame-shooting VW Corrado do this as well (before it ripped off a salvo of pops and flames - naturally, without a kit). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? The engine was completely warm and all. I guess I'm just running the car a bit rich, but since I still have (one) cat in place I don't think it's shooting flames or anything. I dunno, anything particularly harmful that could come from this?
