when i started my car

[badger__rox]

hiya.. i went out and started me car b4 it hadnt been started for about 3 days and when it was clicking over it gave a back fire.. not a large one but just wondering if this is like a bad thing.. lol.. does that mean any thing..

[lord_davros]

mine does that every time i reset the ecu if i dont have my foot flat while cranking it.... mabey its an ecu thing?????

[badger__rox]

does the ecu reset when the batery dies.. cause i think the battery was very close to dieing because it sorta struggled to crank ove the first crank or two..

[SweetWagon]

is it on gas at all? or your injectors may be leaking fuel into the cylinders when the car is off maybe?

[badger__rox]

nah no gas and yer i thought maybe a leaking injector but didnt say it cause i didnt wanna sound any dumber lol

[badger__rox]

what are new injectors worth.

[lord_davros]

yeah i think if the battery is near death then the driain on it will pull all voltage and reset the ecu.. however this is only a theroy and it would be great to hear from someone who knows...

i think i have seen a set of recos on ebay for 86 dollars

to reset the ecu you take the battery off for 5 mins, then (different people say different things) start er up and rev to 3 thou for 20 or 30 secs.

so the battery could be a culprit. what petrol were you running when it happend?

[VNV6VENGEANCE]

sounds like your just running a bit rich. also depends if you were revving it while it started. Usually a little bit of fuel is pushed through your exhaust and it ignites. Not really a bad thing but if it keeps doing it either flush your injectors or get a new set...
