    This phenomenon is caused by an overly-rich air/fuel mixture, as unburnt fuel is ignited further down the exhaust system, producing a loud pop or even flames from the exhaust. The spark from the spark plug can only ignite a certain amount of air/fuel mixture, therefore the excess fuel is exhausted out of the cylinder.

  • Why do car exhausts pop?

    When an engine is running rich, it has too much fuel and too little air, which slows down the combustion process. When combustion doesn't happen in a timely manner, the exhaust valve opens while the air-fuel mixture is still igniting, causing this explosion to “spill” out of the cylinder, making a loud popping noise.12 feb 2020
