What causes an engine to backfire after months of use?

For example, a spark plug gap may widen after the plug has been in operation for months and make it difficult for the spark to jump. Also, carbon buildup may isolate the electrodes, preventing proper combustion. Unburned fuel then is allowed to pass into the exhaust system where it can backfire.

How can I tell if my car is having a backfire?

Sometimes, locating the source won’t take you much time, other times it can prove difficult. The backfire is produced when unburned fuel ignites inside the intake or exhaust manifold instead of a cylinder. You can hear the combustion as a mild, cough-like ignition or a loud bang.

Can a bad sensor cause an engine to backfire?

An engine sensor malfunction can also lead to backfires. Take for example a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The engine computer uses this and other sensors to compute the amount of fuel to inject into the engine according to operating conditions.

Is it possible to burn organic fuel without leaving carbon behind?

Burning organics leave behind carbon. (yes, fuel is organic to but remember, lean and hot leaves very little behind) It would seem impossible for MMO to leave nothing behind so the notion of it having cleaning properties seems especially dubious, and certainly not supported by any data.
