Backfiring

aGUNS · Post by **aGUNS** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 9:56 pm

My CRX keeps backfiring...repeatedly. I have a d16y7 in it.
When I let off of the gas you can hear it backfire, it almost sounds like it's bubbling.
And when I accelerate, once I'm in 4th gear, my motor starts to become really jerky and starts to stutter.

What's wrong with it? Any ideas?

Also, no check engine lights.
But when I was driving today the light did come on. But when I started my car later in the day no light.

Sounds a little rich.

What would be the first step in trying to solve this?
Replacing the oxygen sensor?

Plugs wires cap rotor make sure
The dizzy bolts are tight and the.dizzy didn't move and throw timing off

I just tightened the cap, it was rather loose. But other than that everything seemed fine.
The plugs are pretty new.

We'll see if tightening eveythig helped.

pull up the carpet on the passenger side to see the ecu, see if its flashing any codes, check the rotor.

Sounds like when i had bad wiring to my MAP sensor, but I had a CEL with that
