    I've shot fireballs out of both my old turbo Talon and back in the day in my Bronco II. When the Bronco shot the fireball it shut off and never restarted. When the Talon did it was loading up really bad and I was just trying to keep it from stalling when it shot a 4 foot fireball out of the exhaust.

    Nope, no smog pump or EGR.

    Just wondering because I know there's a check valve that can get stuvk open for the smog pump and cause backfires like that on startup.
