Flame out muffler?! - Honda Prelude Forum

AcidSun · 05-11-2002, 11:45 PM

Here is my question/concern whenever i punch it after my car is warm lets say about 30% of the time i get a huge spark out my tail pipe. Sometimes it is enough to light up my rear view mirror. I dont have a cat and i have basic i/h/e with advanced timing. I am leaned out 4% with the vafc and i have an MSD. Does anyone else experiece this issue? Is it something to be concerned about? Thanks

since you did took out the cat....., cus any reciprocating engine has unfinished combustion still comming out the exhaust port.

that's how you detect cracked exhaust manifold on an airplane by the way,
turn the engine on at night and check to see fire around the exhaust manifold..

flames coming out of the exhaust..?

just the thought of it sounds koo but that's not normal. Unless you put a spark plug in the exhaust.

i always see the flamey exhaust thing on hoopties driven by broke wannabe dealers.

smells like badussy too.

too much FATF

I don't understand the whole spark-plug-in-exhaust=flame thing. I suppose it looks OK, but I wouldn't want mine to do it.

My car does the same...it did it a little more when I had it rich up top, but I leaned it out and now It does it occasionally when I race. Just a blaster coil(MSD) no full ignition, i/h/e gutted cat

Yes, that is my 91 Accord

Im sure I am running rich, but I had a guy ask to see if my car would shoot flames after I gutted my cat so I richened the fuel curve up @ 7400 to about + 4% (right around my current shift point, and voila) It makes a loud pop and everything behind me lights up.
