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.

Lexus RC200t L4-2.0L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Marietta, Georgia
David was very thorough in the pre-purchase inspection of my 2017 Lexus RC 200t. He was able to identify that the water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. This was something not evident in the CARFAX report. I had the dealer replace it for me at no cost. David also has experience in the car sales industry and gave me some good insight. I highly recommend him.

Lexus ES330 V6-3.3L - Power Steering Pump - Buford, Georgia
Initially I was a little skeptical about using a mobile mechanic. However, I decided to give it a shot and scheduled an appointment with YouMechanic to fix my power steering pump. I was able to pick a time and date that was convenient with my schedule. I picked a Sunday at 7am. I knew this was extremely early and that I was even going to have to be awake at that time; however, I have had bad experiences in the past where a simple 1 hour repair has held me hostage in the repair shop for the entire day. I didn't want my entire day wasted. YourMechanic advised me that the replacing the power steering pump would take 2 hours and that my mechanic, Justin Barnes, would call me when he was on the way. Sunday morning I received a call from Justin that he was on his way. He arrived on time and got straight to work. He was friendly, professional, and completed the job on time. I have driven the car for three days now and it feels like a new car. I haven't had any problems. The price was very competitive, almost half as much as I had previously been quoted. So far, I can say that I am extremely satisfied with YourMechanic and with Justin Barnes' work. I can easily see me using them again and recommending others to use them too.
