Okay...I just got an email from the guy I bought the car from and he says he highly doubts that its the valve springs. They had about 5k miles on them before he sold the car to me and they are K motion valve springs. So, I think I am going to check out other things. I bought a code scanner today and maybe I can find something. I'm starting to think that I may be running lean on fuel. I've been using the post search on this site and I found that with a car running lean that it will pop and back fire when you let off the gas, and my car does that quite a bit. Any time I down shift or let off the gas the exhaust pops. I thought maybe it was from an exhaust leak but anyone hear of a car doing that from a lean condition? I am really hoping that if I am running lean that I havent screwed my rings up or anything like that. Anything I should know or be aware of when using the code scanner? I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks for the help.
