Backfire prob
Hey guys i need help on a backfire problem, it started yesterday when me and my friend swaped my holley carb onto his rx to see if he liked it and when i drove it home and turned her off my car waited about 3 sec then made one loud backfire. I have never heard this before and it made me worried that we screwed up the carb when we were playing. If you have any suggestions on what this might be it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That's a problem?
It's just the raw unburnt fuel hitting the cats after you shut the car down. It's still pumping fuel and air, just without spark for a little bit after you turn the key off. It happens, fab up a catless exhaust if you don't like it. Personally, I love setting off car alarms with loud backfires.

Hey J thanks for the help. I have a 1980 rx with a 12a engine. I took my carb off yesterday put it on my friends rx for like 20 min then switched them back. It runs fine and dident seem any diffrent except for the one single backfire right after that car turns off. It has to be something with the carb because it never happened before. Its confusing because we did everything right and the transaction went smooth but still i ended up with a problem. Thanks for the help if you think you know the prob it would be greatly appreciated.
