What causes exhaust backfire on deceleration?
Decel popping is caused by the detonation of unburned fuel in the exhaust pipe. This happens with high flow exhausts that allow more fresh air to be pulled into the pipe, causing the exhaust temperature to rise and detonate any unburnt fuel.
What causes an engine to backfire during deceleration?
“In general, backfiring on deceleration (as opposed to acceleration) is generally caused by a lean condition in the pilot circuit. Then when the engine does fire, these un-burnt gasses are ignited in the exhaust pipe, causing the backfire.
What causes a car to backfill during acceleration?
Backfiring that results from damaged wiring disrupts the ignition’s timing, which causes a build-up of air and fuel in the engine. Backfiring during acceleration can also be caused by internal carburetor problems, low compression, leaks in the fuel tank, lean engine conditions, and weak or broken valve springs.
What does it mean when a motorcycle backfire?
We’ve all heard a motorcycle backfiring. It is a loud bang that makes everyone around you jump and look. But a motorcycle backfire is nothing more than a small explosion in your exhaust system. Sometimes it happens in the intake system. It usually means is that there your engine is running too rich, or too lean.
When does a carburetor backfire what does it mean?
Don’t be mistaken… After-burn is similar to back-fire, which is the burning of fuel in the intake port of the carburetor. Both conditions occur when a very lean air/fuel mixture burns so slowly in the combustion chamber that it is still burning when the exhaust and/or intake valves open.

Why does my car backfire when I let off the throttle?
When I let off the throttle and the engine is slowing the car down (4 speed manual), I’m getting an exhaust backfire. It’s much more intense when coming off of hard acceleration. Now, I understand this can be either a lean or rich condition at throttle lift where un-burned fuel collects and ignites in the exhaust system.
