jpage 419 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Either a timing, condenser or mixture problem. Check all three. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JFranklin 571 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 A sticking valve can lead to backfire also. Do a compression test. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ernie Vitucci 2 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Good Morning...Very often this problem can be a coil or a condenser near the end of their life. They tend to work when cold and then fail when they become warm/hot! Link to post Share on other sites
