So when i hit the gas very very lightly it doesn't happen. But when i touch the gas a little i get this fast repetative backfiring sound. IT SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN! That's how fast it is. I have an exhaust leak so my car is loud, so when this happens u can hear it clearly. WTF is it? Sounds like a continuous missfire?

Mr Willis

i just replaced the gas filter and it didn't help. ANYONE? It's a rapid missfire but what could it be?

it could just be because of the exhaust leak. when did it start happening?

Mr Willis

It's been doing it periodically for months but now its bad. I just got back from the mechanic and he told me bad KS (which i knew) and he says it's probably the problem. He's charging me $240 installed.

1st off... whether it's the cause of the backfiring sound replace your KS (if it is in fact bad)

then... fix the exhaust leak!
(depending on where it is, it might be a good time to put on a good Y-pipe if you don't have one already)

Mr Willis

Well i just got the KS replaced (the KS ghost code went away) and got the exhaust leak repaired. When the KS was replaced i noticed it helped. But after the exhaust repair, this thing runs like a CHAMP! I know this will improve my gas mileage also.

Thanks for all of the advice. KS: $250 installed
EXHAUST REPAIR: $65

I think it was the exhaust leak Drew.

It' only a 10-15 min. job.
Did he at least kiss you, before he rapped you!!!



At least, it's fixed.

Mr Willis

That's not a lot of money to me LOSER. I'd rather pay some dirty scrub to do it, (like yourself) Than get my own hands dirty. The KS was $150, installing it was $100 and my mechanic tried it by hand but then he borrowed a tool. Why would one have to remain "calm and collected" to do a job you say is so simple. 20 min. to do the whole job? Dude you are so F.O.S. it STINKS! Whatever i had mine installed by a professional rather than a 20 year old punk that still eats out of his mothers fridge.

Go rotate my tires geek,

Mr Willis

Dude buy a calculator, are you a 20 year old idiot too?


KS:$150
Labor:$100

If it was like a burble when you let off the gas, that's normal. You don't hear that with the factory exhaust.
