Mike was telling me about your car backfiring through the intake. The cause of this on my car was from one cylinder running too lean off of idle. The injector for that cylinder was delivering about half as much fuel as the others at idle, but above 1500 RPM it was fine. When I adjusted the air/fuel mixture, it caused that one cylinder to be too lean and the other 5 to be too rich. Inspecting the plugs confirmed this along with watching the injectors spray in test tubes. The problem with the faulty new injectors must be that they are NOS and have rust in them. I'm curious to cut one open and see. Having your timing off will also cause it to backfire through the intake. I would have terrible luck trying to tune it by hear like Bill suggests. There must be a procedure for setting/verifying the position of the timing mark. > Question of the day: What is the best paint to use to repaint the engine cover? Bumper black or semi flat 1613, or what? I have never been too fond of any paint that comes out of a spray can when compared to spraying real automotive paints through a spray gun. Rich W painted the louvers of D-rex with Krylon Semi-Flat Black, and it looks good. I'm curious to see how it holds up. Plasti-kote Bumper Black spray paint (# 616) seems to be a spot-on match for the black part of the fascias. I'm not sure how well it would stick to an engine cover, though. Like Bill said, preparation is everything. If there is any residue of oil or Armor-all or Back-to-black then you will get fish-eye in those areas. I have seen too many painted louvers that are mostly glossy yet mottled with fish-eye spots where residue made the paint go thin. Walt Yahoo!
