popping sound from the back

Post by edoh »

on starting up or stopping abruptly -
(but not when driving)
van makes pop pop pop sounds from the engine/exhaust -
any ideas what this could be peeps? -
and what a 'cure' might be?

I'm thinking - fuel?
but open to all suggestions -
other than - keep off the beans! :D

No I mean if you decelerate down hill (foot off)
What you describe is similar to running on.
That is caused by poor timing or a leaky anti dieseling valve ( idle speed cut off solenoid)

Had the same problem on an old bay I had, turned out to be leaky manifold gaskets.
