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.

Subaru Outback H4-2.5L - Coolant is leaking - Lynnwood, Washington
This was my First time using my mechanic due to the convenience of them coming to you and cost less than a shop. OUr issue was the coolant level dropping in the reservoir tank with no visible leaks. Theodore contacted me when he was on his way and to also let me know traffic was heavier than usual so he would be a little late. What I really liked was the GPS tracking so I could see where he was and how soon he would be arriving. Theodore didn't find any leaks and could not determine what exactly may be causing the problem, but he was very thorough in explaining everything he tested and inspected. Even though he couldn't determine the issue, it gave me peace of mind that everything checked out good including the head gasket which is what I was really worried about. He did mention one scenario that may be causing the coolant level to drop so at this time we will just keep an eye on it. And if something does need to be replaced, I will absolutely be using Your Mechanic again.
