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.

Kia Optima L4-2.4L - Alternator - Houston, Texas

Pro: Joseph arrives on time, very friendly and give me free anti-freeze. Cons: He misdiagnosed the problem that caused me a lot of money. At first, he diagnosed the battery is dead, but then he said the problem is the alternator and he recommended to replace it with the new one. Since he knew what he's doing, I decided to book him again to replace the alternator. However, the real problem is not the alternator. The real problem is the Brake Pedal Accelerator Stop fell off and it caused the brake light always turns on. This dries up the battery quickly. The part for the Brake Pedal Accelerator Stop is cheap (around $3-$6) but I ended up paying $300 with Joseph because I trusted his judgement that the root cause was the alternator ! Worse, he didn't give me the "old" alternator. I give him 3 stars since he's a nice person. I understand people can make mistake. But his misjudgment caused me $300 and he didn't carefully look around to find the root cause. He's too quick making judgment, which is not good.
