I have a 1980 Vanagon Westfalia with a 2000cc FI motor. When I start the engine, occassionally the engine will backfire once. It is not a loud backfire, but enough that you can tell that it is backfiring. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I just did a complete tune up, points, condensor, cap, rotor, plugs and timing about 2 weeks ago. The backfiring just started about 3 days ago. Once the engine is running, there are no problems at all. Is there any possibility that I am causing any damage with the backfire? Thanks for your help. ______ .--------------/_______\----- /""""/""""/|""|'|""||""| '\ Brad Nelson / / / |__| |__||__| | dnelson@goodnet.com /----------=====================| Phoenix, Arizona | \ /V\ / _. | 71 VW Bus |()\ \W/ /() _ _ | 80 Westfalia | \ / / \ / \ | _-( ) =C========C==_| ) |--------| ) |==] _-{_}_) \_\_/__.. \_\_/_ \_\_/ \_\_/__.__.
