About 2 weeks or so ago I replaced a bad O2 sensor as well as the battery and starter cables.
After that I started hearing a faint but noticable backfire while cruising...not during acceleration or idle.
It became gradually louder and then began to do it under acceleration. Now it does it almost constantly except at idle and will do it if I give it gas while in park or neutral as well (not under a load). THere's not real pattern to it...it does it whether the engine is warmed up or not...ambient temp has no effect either...I've drivien it at 45* and 85* during the last couple weeks.
I replaced the fuel filter just for giggles (which did not fix it).
Of course I just gave my friend his scanner back after dxing and 'fixing' a tranny issue so I will be borrowing it again.
I am leaning towards ignition issues...?
