Backfire
Well, I just introduced myself, in the other section.
I am not new to ecomodding, I have been "lurking" for a while and trying my hand at saving fuel. I wanted to post, because something interesting happened yesterday: I was driving out of a tight curve with the engine off, bumped it on a short straight and then shut down again for a tight left-hander. It was uphill, and with someone behind me, I quick bumped the engine again...BOOM:eek:. The person in front of me nearly stopped dead and I had to brake, the person behind me backed off. Nobody knew what happened, just that it was LOUD. I know that it is possible to cause a backfire because of raw fuel in the exhaust system, but I thought that wouldn't happen, because when the ignition is turned off, the injectors close, right? In a year, this has never happened to me, but I thought I would kindly ask for your comments! Chipsndukes |

I'd recommend installing a kill switch! :D |

How would the kill switch help to prevent a backfire? Thanks! Chipsndukes |
