Yes.
Not typically. Usually backfiring is caused by either a damaged distributor cap or an engine ignition that is seriously mis-timed.
A malfunctioning coil pack can cause your 2001 Pontiac Grand Am to backfire. The more likely cause is a faulty fuel injector.
Have the timing checked,it sounds like your timing is out,also check your distributor cap and rotor,good luck,Frank
Certainly. Check the inside of the distributor cap for any indication that there may have been "electrical arcing". Moisture too can cause backfiring. If you haven't changed the cap and rotor for a while it's not a bad idea, just out of preventative maintenance.
Yes, if the corrosion builds thick enough, the armature will make contact a few degrees early. Can also cause odd backfiring, bad cold-weather driving, and fouled plugs.
There can be several different causes. Basically, it can be the ignition system or the carburetor. Too much oxygen in proportion to gasoline will cause backfiring. Also air leaks in the hose that connects the air intake to the carburetor. A faulty CID can possibly cause backfiring, however this is not as likely as the cause I mentioned first. There are other possibilities, but I would suggest a geneal tune up and inspection of the spark plug.
A grounded signal wire from pcm, faulty pcm, or faulty injector are the only possible causes.
POSSIBILITIES: Faulty spark plug - faulty ignition wire - distributor rotor needs replacing - distributor needs replacing. The most common cause of multiple misfires on the B20 / P75 engine used in the 1999 CRV is valve recession. this is a well documented problem on these engines. Repair usually requires replacement of the head.
Backfiring in any motor is either badly out of time or a burnt valve.
The distributor cap of an ignition system is one possible cause of many for misfires. Other possible sources to investigate are the distributors cap and gears. The flow chart of diagnosing misfires also include the coil, capacitor (if applicable), ignition wires and the spark plugs.
If the strut is faulty it can cause uneven tyre wear or cause the steering to be either light/heavy and possible rumbling through the driveline.
Possible but doubtful. Start with the basics, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, air and fuel filters. If the "check engine" light has illuminated, check the code(s), they may help lead you to the problem.
