Engine backfires are one of the most obvious symptoms of car trouble, and they are annoying and potentially damaging to the car’s exhaust and catalytic mechanisms.

Backfires occur for various reasons, and may be accompanied by a Check Engine light.

Common reasons for this to happen:

  • When moisture or resistance in the car’s electronic ignition system allows a crossover generation of current to the wrong cylinder.

  • A lean mixture caused by either an engine vacuum leak or low fuel-pump pressure.

  • A faulty air injection check valve (part of the car’s emission control system) allows too much air into the car’s exhaust system.

  • A failed air intake boot can cause a backfire by altering the feedback voltage to the PCM.

  • Faulty ignition components or spark plugs may also cause backfires if the ignition timing drifts off or the plugs fire intermittently.

  • An exhaust leak such as broken welds or other small holes can take in cool air during deceleration and cause a popping or backfiring in the exhaust system.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source and cause of the engine backfiring, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How important is this service?

Backfires generate sudden high-pressure events in the exhaust system, and can do serious damage if left unchecked. Have the car inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.

Cadillac Allante V8-4.6L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - West Palm Beach, Florida
I asked Jeremy to inspect a car for me prior to purchasing it. I live in a different state so I really had to depend on Jeremy to give me as comprehensive a report as possible. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. I couldn't have gotten a better evaluation than the one Jeremy provided to me. Based on his evaluation, I ended up purchasing the car. Jeremy is terrific. He called me prior to inspecting the car and immediately after. This was in addition to his comprehensive report. I highly recommend Jeremy.

Cadillac Allante V8-4.6L - Check Engine Light is on - Los Angeles, California
Peter said during our initial conversation that he had worked on Northstar engines and based on the symptoms (stalling, hesitation at low RPMs), he concluded the problem was the EGR valve, and it may need to replaced. He suggested I order the part, which I did, but did not mention the accompanying gasket (which would also need to be replaced). The new EGR valve did improve the sound of the engine while idling, but the tachometer still doesn't register RPMs at low idle, and it still stalls. Thanks to the numerous attempts from my last stall, my battery is now dead. Although my gut and research says it is the Crank Position Sensor, $178 later (labor) I am back to square one, a car that won't crank.
