No match for my GMC's backfires though... I mean Jeebus, it sounds like a cannon! Almost scared some guy in a convertible off the road when I backfired while he was passing my truck.... When he recovered and finished passing me, he gave me one of those "Why did you do that?" looks... I tried real hard not to laugh

Edit: I still don't see how sparks could appear. We've obviously established that flames are possible and quite likely... but sparks? Viewed from behind, up an open exhaust? That just doesn't sound good to me.

found it heat sheild cut the 02 sensor wires and it was arcing to the heat shield.

I bet your mileage is still better than mine

At the time I got 50 miles using 3/4 tank. but your tank is bigger (early impreza here)

I did really well yesterday with the new 02 though. took 8 hours to get from denver home (usually a 3.5-4 hr drive) got almost 30 mpg in the snow using 3rd and 4th most of the time.

i am much happier now
