Hai guyz. My M50 was backfiring when I first got it running because the spark plug gaskets were all crusty and worn out so oil was entering the spark plug cylinder and it was arching, so occasionally I was running on 5 or 4 cylinders and it was backfiring decently bad on idle but when I got the car up and going past 1st and 2nd gear it was totally fine. I knew it was backfiring strictly because I can hear the spark plugs arch.
Yesterday I changed out the gaskets, I tried putting a rag down the spark plug hole to absorb as much oil as I can so it doesn't fall down into the cylinder. Well inenvitably some oil fell down into the cylinder and once finished I started my car and a large billow of smoke came out, expected.
The car was driving fine for about 200 miles that I drove it today, when all of a sudden in traffic on jersey's US-1 it started backfiring and acting like complete SHIT. I was in 1st gear probably going off 3 to 4 cylinders, it sounded like I was two stepping because it sounded exactly like a two-step system, it sounded AWFUL and the backfires were RIDICULOUS and I was obviously not on all 6 cylinders at all. The more gas I put the more it wanted to die, but when it didn't die it just backfired. Then eventually the car stalled probably 10 times through traffic because it wouldn't really hold idle and when it did I would have to backfire through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear until I got it up to highway speeds.
Eventually I got to my town and it got worse, I was stalling out very easily, wouldn't idle and I couldn't put my foot down or else the car would die or backfire retardedly.
I'm thinking, could starting the car with the oil in the cylinder have fouled out my spark plugs? The only thing I did yesterday was change out the gaskets, and it's running completely worse! Worst part is that my alpine white rear valance and bumper are burnt up badly from the backfires :(
video update:
in this video, im going WOT right from idle, im WOT the entire time until i let the RPM's go back to idle then I go WOT again, im NOT letting off at all. you can hear backfiring in the video.
halp?
