    Cool Vs backfiring under load

    My vs wagon is backfiring under load when then car reaches operating temp. Doesnt do it when cold.
    Ive changed the leads and the plugs. Also had the coils checked ( one changed) and had a new DFI module replaced. Still backfiring

    Anyone with suggestions?

    i dont know the gap i have got - put the plugs in as new and was advised to close the gap slightly. Don't know how to check for vacuum leaks at those locations - but more than willing to give it a try if i can get some basic instructions.
    THANKS

    recommended plugs for gas BP7EFS gapped to 1.0 mm . grab a can of carby clean and spray around the manifold where it meets the heads and where the injector seals sit listen for changes in rpm , check the vacum hose from the throttle body and the rear of the manifold for fittment and condition , check for bad connections made by the gas fitter dodgy earths are common , check the intake hose for cracks and air leaks again with the carby clean , who did the gas install and what system have they used ???

    best plugs for gas are Toyota plugs - they are Denso T20EPU15 's don't re-gap them.
