But recently, the garage service manager tells her that she’s hurting the car by not regularly exercising the parking brake. Should Jeannie be exercising her dopeslap technique on the disservice manager instead?

It often happens during throttle changes—like lifting off the gas or sudden acceleration—when combustion timing and fuel/air mixture aren’t behaving as intended.","simplifiedExplanation":"A backfire is when your car makes a loud pop or bang, sometimes with flames.
