    Default vs commodore at times seems to backfire when starting

    My vs commodore at times seems to backfire when I start it, which makes it harder to start and when you rev it a bit it backfires a bit. Once started and warmed up it runs fine.

    Anyone got any tips on where I should be looking to help solve this little problem? I am leaning towards my injectors being the problem so far.

    Cheers for that

    It idles fine; the only time it had backfired was while it was being started and when you give it a bit of a rev for the first time once started.
    The plugs and leads are new and I have swapped over my coils and DFI with a spare set.

    I cleaned the MAF a few months ago lol... I have noticed when it has backfired it blows a bit of blue/grey smoke, I am not sure if it is related though....
