Mitsubishi Repair: Mitsubishi RVR Sport Car N73W, mitsubishi rvr, catalytic converters

Question
I have a 1998 Mistubishi Sport RVR Model No. GRN73W-WGSNGF which is currently backfiring.
What would be causing the engine to backfire?

Answer
Doreen,
There are a number of causes for backfiring. Usually it is engine timing. It could be bad fuel also. I have seen Catalytic converters cause the same symptom. A bad coil could cause it by jumping posts. Excessive fuel out of a injector can cause that too. You need to take it to a shop to figure this one out.
Good luck!
