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.

Great Service! Eladio went above and beyond detecting and recommending the repairs required to be done in the near future without trying to push those repairs. He also was honest in his recommendations and pointed out that the air filter in my car is the expensive kind can be washed and reused without having to be replaced with a brand new one. I really appreciated his honesty.

Had Joel do a pre-purchase inspection for me for a car I am buying. Since I am out of state, he was my eyes and ears. Sent over a comprehensive report and now I feel safe that I won't travel and waste my time. Thanks!

BMW M3 L6-3.2L - Car is not starting - Saratoga, California
Khoa was professional, punctual, and very polite. He also noticed some worn belts that needed to be replaced. Unfortunately he misdiagnosed my issue. The battery was fine (but extremely low). The ground cable was shooting against the frame of the car. He noticed some sparks, but said the ground cable was fine. After buying a new battery at his recommendation, the issue did not go away. I pulled up a piece of rubber lining and saw that the ground wire was compromised in two places. Ended up costing me a couple of additional hours of work due to the misdiagnosis
