Noticed something while idling.
My car tends to idle really low after it's been running for a few minutes, and I'm okay with that. One thing I've noticed though is that it seems to sputter or have like minibackfires while idling. What could cause this? Exhaust leak perhaps?

Re: Noticed something while idling.
What kind of car is it?
It also could be the valve lash
-OR-
Leaky valves

Unless, you are gonna man up and check your spark plugs.
Even my girl checks her own car and tells me what is wrong with it, IF she can't fix it.
