I was driving and getting on the car pretty hard around a turn and all the sudden I heard a loud pop/bang from the front right of the car almost like a tire blowout type noise I have checked everything and there doesnt seem to be any thing that looks not normal and it runs and rides fine anyone have any ideas what that could of been?
Thanks!

No fluids leaking? No change in driving? Anything hanging?

Did you hit a bump or anything? Rock?


I have no idea. Not a ton of information to go on... "I pressed gas, heard sound, what is it?"

Hey man, if the car still drives normally, and nothing is obvious, screw it. if there is an issue you will find it in the next couple days lol.

I dont have much info because its was so random I was just really going really hard around a turn then gave it a bunch of gas and then bang thought I had a blow out at first, but nope no leaking fluids, nothing hanging the only thing that did happen was my rpm's dropped as soon as it happened then went back up but I drove it for a while after and nothing happened and no change in the way it rides or the engine more just wondering as to what it was

That doesn't sound particularly good...

But like posted above if nothing has changed nothing really you can do... If there's an issue it will make an apperance soon enough...

Intake backfire is definitely what it is. Check your o2 sensors. My buddy's accord does that shit because of his o2 that he refuses to replace haha. He had put a different o2 in and it went away lol

intake backfire sounds right... also check coil packs, plug wires, etc..(assuming it a modular) sounds like you lost spark for some reason and it loaded up on fuel, and once you regained spark it all ignited.. something may be loose and the sharp turn loosened it to where is could make a good connection... I've has this happen with my 5.0 when the coil wire loosed and lost spark.

idunno even if it was a backfire there is a bigger problem somewhere that caused it. I mean if the o2 sensor was was bad I would assume the car would not be running smoothly and probably have a CEL. have you tried to pull any err codes just to see if something pops up?
