so my car is idling fine now and all but after adjusting everything my car is fackfiring alot...pretty much everytime rev up and let off and when im shifting gears. I am assuming i need to fool with the idle air screw...what should I do?

my 85 did the same thing. it turned out to be the pulse air injection system.

two marbles stuffed in the hoses fixed that problem.

I guess there is a reed valve of some kind in there that does not seal properly and allows the fresh air to get sucked into the exhaust on decel causing a backfire.

My EGR valve gasket is a little leaky and makes it backfire when I shut the motor off. Freaks out the gas station attendants. Plus, cool four foot flame out the back.

well its kind of a roar/multiple backfire/popping noise i guess you could say and it hapens consistantly whenever i let off the gas/shift.

Exhaust leaks (in the y-pipe), or bad ASV. Fix the leaks and/or block the ASV's with quarters to prevent fresh oxygen from getting in.
