93 chim, sounds as sick as anything

[Emsman]

Still not got my speedo sorted, but hopefully not long, but.................

Went out today, and within a mile there was an awful popping from below, just like a lot of un burnt fuel burning in the pipes (although more of a woof than a bang)

Not running hot, all else seems, fine, anyone have any idea, as it would be nice to be out in the recently good weather.

As ever, all help much appreciated

Hi Emsman. Can you give us more detail on your problem? Is the problem just there under light or heavy load for example, worse when hot or cold, is the car's performance affected, is it there at idle etc etc?

Can we assume before you go out and test it that we are not dealing with sick as in mechanical knocking and banging from the engine (ie bearing failure)

Generally under an idle throttle, but not a mechancal noise, as i said its like a mild backfire

Sorry for the delay, have my little boy this weekend, so will check back tomorrow.

Well, not sure what you have checked, but first and easiest thing to check is that all 8 plugs are on properly.

I have checked all of the obvious, and all seems well.

Its bloody annoying though, given the weather.

Have had an e mail from an amazingly helpful chap though, so will check what he has suggested and hope for the best.
