Little lost try again. What are you trying to say....also what model and year are you talking about....

Exhaust fires come from unburnt fuel passing through the engine and into the exhaust manifold, and then combusting in the exhaust piping.

<<cant understand a damn word of that post.?? if your referring to it as in out your muffler.. your running rich.

SLO Sol

yes out of my muffler of a 92 civic SI it throws fire ***** even when its cold, how do i prevent running rich? its a stock Si with a SRI

jdeemseerx

did you mess with your timing at all? a stock motor should not be running rich enough to drop cherries.. not even close. turbo motors that arent tuned are known for this..

I wish my car gave me candy everytime I parked on a hill...

wouldent a untuned turbo motor be running lean due to the excess of air?

Usually you tune turbo motors a bit richer until they're professionally tuned. Running richer lowers your chance of throwing a rod or some other catostrophic failure.

At OP:
You're running too rich, sounds like your timing is off, fuel is dripping into the EM where gravity is pulling it down to the tailpipe where the hot *** tail pipe is combusting it making it backfire. Set your timing to TDC.

thanks for clearing that up.. timing is what im thinking^^

tuned and no more fireballs!
