Engine backfire can be caused by the following reasons: Overly lean air-fuel mixture: The cause of car engine backfire may be due to fuel system or intake system malfunctions. Fuel system issues are primarily caused by insufficient fuel injection from the injectors, with the main reasons being: low fuel pressure; clogged fuel injectors. Intake system problems are mainly due to excessive air intake, with the primary causes being: failure of sensors controlling air intake; intake manifold leaks. Ignition system problems: Insufficient ignition energy (excessive resistance in high-voltage wires; damaged ignition coils; insufficient power supply voltage) or spark plug failure. Excessive ignition advance angle: Improper CKP gap; loose CKP; damaged temperature sensor; ECU failure.
