    I would say it's not the tune if it's only recently started happened and the car has been running fine before.

    Any errors logged?

    Only asked about the tune cause its usually mentioned but i didnt realise you hadnt done the work

    SOunds like it could be an O2 sensor... bloke at work had his vy ss run badly due to a clogged fuel line so might wanna check your fuel filter as well

    also with today the errors logged were air flow meter but there wont be one as it has been maffless tuned and also said it is running rich? so could this be kinda flooding it and then causing the back fire?

    did it start doing it after yo fiited the new leads/plugs?

    mine use to do the same. surging and back fire. hooked the computer up and came up as a missfire on #2.. checked the lead on #2... it wasnt pushed on all the way.
    i'd check all the leads are clipped on properly.
    want to see more then a typical commodore fitted with an exhuast, then check my thread out... link broken cuase i dont own a tuff car, i just made it up...
