A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The severity of such an injury may range from "mild," i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to "severe," i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. A TBI can result in short or long-term problems with independent function.

What causes TBI? The leading causes of TBI are: * Falls (28%); * Motor vehicle-traffic crashes (20%); * Struck by/against events (19%); and * Assaults (11%) Who is at highest risk for TBI? * Males are about 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a TBI. * The two age groups at highest risk for TBI are 0 to 4 year olds and 15 to 19 year olds. * Certain military duties (e.g., paratrooper) increase the risk of sustaining a TBI. * African Americans have the highest Death Rate from TBI.

87 Chevy with tbi starts good but after 5 minutes of driving you get a single backfire through the tbi does this daily and is driving you nuts?

It is not a bib deal but the problem is that ther is not enough gasoline going through the tbi and it's hoses. I think the hoses or the actual tbi is cloged with some sort of debri. You should take out the tbi and its hoses and clean both of them very good. Hopefully the garbage in the tbi and/or the hoses would have came out!
