|  I was about to trade my car into the dealership but they told me that they dont give any credit for aftermarket parts. As soon as i get home i strip it of all its aftermarket parts. I put the stock spark plug wires back on and messed up the firing order. Now when i start it, it backfires if i give it any gas at all. I just changed the spark plugs because they were all burnt out i guess from messing up the firing order, so now there are new spark plugs and it sounds alot better but when i go to drive it, it still backfires. What have i done to my car? is it serious? any ideas?" Patrick 98 d16y8 |

| Maybe you tore up some valves? Run a compression test on the engine. |
