1.8 Zetec POP!
Was out today for first time in the striker "Clubman' road tune Zetec 1800 130 cams, Weber-Alpha 3D ignition management, twin Weber 40
carbs".
Great fun but turn off ignition, or kill battery with cut off, and it stops, then 3 seconds later there is a loud pop exactly like a backfire.
Is that normal?
Anyone know anywhere near Cardiff who could set up the carbs etc if that would help?
Cheers

Excess fuel igniting in the exhaust
or timing out

Mine does it every so often. Unburnt fuel in the exhaust I guess.
Have you got a FIA battery cutoff with the ballast resistor? If not be careful switching it off with the engine running as it can cause a spike that
goes back into the alternator and fry it. I know from experience!

Thanks gents,
Wyn, I will give him a call, cheers.
Greg, the cut off is some kind of electronic fancy one, but however it works I guess its safer to turn off the key!
May be a good idea to just leave the bang and use the car to pick the kids up from school! Street cred!
