What would cause it to make a popping noise. Seems like it does it when it is at around 1000- and up RPMs. Im not sure what it could be? Also when my friend check the oil, he said it was thin-like and smelled like gas was in the oil, but would that make it to pop pop? Anyone know? Thanks
Backfiring.... could be caused by anything, cold weather, timing, fuel to air, seals, gaskets, stuff....anything.
check for vaccum leaks.
the fuel your smelling in the oil is from improper combustion, meaning your getting cylinder wash, fuel ending up in the crank case.
okay, so im stumped what should I do?
how do you stop "cylinder wash" i have the same problem....
What is causing it to have a cylinder wash? Should I change out my fuel rail? injectoers or what? HELP PLEASE
anyone?
O rings, valve seals, any seal that prevents oil from going into the cylinder and gas from going outside the cylinder.
The first thing that should be done is scan the EEC system for codes. But without a better description of you problem, you arn't likely to get a lot of help online.
The gas in the oil is because of either a over rich condition(possibly MAP sensor or fuel pressure regulator), or maybe a iginition problem(spark plugs, wires, dist cap).
Do you know where I can find a diagnostic tester for a decent price? oh yea, what is the MAP sensor? thanks for the imputs, I appreciate it. oh yea to confirm things, when you run codes where do you plug it into: the EEC or ECU? I believe it is EEC, but some people were telling me ECU, so i just wanted to confirm things. THanks again.
If you have A local Vatozone (autozone) and can get the car there, they'll scan codes for free.
yea see thats the problem, no insurance for the car currently, since it's been sitting for a good 4 months now, also I don't wanna drive it there since it has that problem ya know. Thanks tho
Tester, shmester. Grab a voltmeter, a test light, or just a little piece of wire, and find the two EEC test plugs.
Here they are:

Here's what to do:

Same thing.
Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. Tells the EEC/ECU/Computer how much vacuum is in the manifold relative to the outside air pressure. It lives on the firewall behind the manifold and various other pipes and hoses...

I figured since I had gas in my oil, that may cause it to backfire... would anyone else agree? Im going to drain the oil, and go from there.
