I have installed custom made 3in short intake with K&N filter.
My car now (sometimes, not very often though) backfires. Very loud pop, you can even feel the gas pedal shudder. Usually from neutral to 1st on very low RPMs. It is highly annoying! Also it seems to me that my MPG got worse. Funny, I actually thought that installing after market air filter would IMPROVE it. what's wrong? Has anyone here experienced the same problem? --------------------  '94 ST |

I understand. But unfortunately the backfiring started immediately after I installed the setup. It HAS to be connected somehow. @Batman722 I will try to follow your advice. This post has been edited by conus00: Feb 23, 2010 - 1:49 AM -------------------- '94 ST |
