cold start backfiring issues

try adjusting your throttle plate and timing ,to start with

next, try providing more pics of the girls in your avatar and then go from there.


where'd you get the IAC? about 98% of the parts store IAC's i've ever used either crapped out after a few months or just sucked from the get-go. for example: i had some idling issues, so i got a new IAC from Oreilly's. my problem cleared up a little bit, but the surge was still there. after about 2 months, it gradually got worse again, even to the point where the car would stall under decelleration. i ended up taking the IAC back off, cleaning out my ORIGINAL 20 year old ford IAC with carb cleaner and putting it back on. cured all my problems. during cold starts, the eec almost completely looks to the ACT and ECT sensors to determine the amount of fuel needed and the IAC is opened 100%. once the car starts and your key springs back to the "run" position, timing is also determined by the ACT and ECT. if the IAC isn't opening up, that'll definitely cause your stall. if either your ACT and/or your ECT sensors are bad, the eec would fuel map incorrectly (due to the inaccurate coolant and air temp readings) and could be dumping too much fuel for start up which could (and is probably) causing that backfire. hope this helps some.
