my car is spitting fire. i shifted from 3rd at 6800 to 4th while passing someone and for that split second mid shift, flames shot out the exhaust. i didnt see it, but my friend following me home did. today was the first day i was hard on the car after installing my new pulley. the engine has about 1400 miles on it now - does this mean somethings wrong?

 

no that means ur car has *****

or for that split second, ur car threw wayyyyy toooo muuuucccchhhh gas in the mix

thats all

 

I thought flame out the muffler is a back fire from gas not burning or to much gas? My 88 honda accord shot out a flame with black smoke when I shifted at high rpms in it.

 

thats probally not good for ur exhaust valves
my buddies old ford usta do that lmfao then he got the cops called on him because they thought he was shooting a gun,
truck threw a HUGE flame as i found out the hard way lol (peeing)
