loud bang from engine when i turn the key to ign

Post by Mx73 »

is it possible that edis is making a spark before i even crank and leftover fuel in my intake manifold is igniting, i get a really loud pop when my car sits for a while all i do is turn the key to ign without cranking it. , and there's not visually wrong,

Its entirely possible, I've seen this a few times on EDIS equipped kit-cars here in the UK, can give you quite a shock... There generally isn't enough fuel hanging around to make a bang though, so it might be worth checking you don't have a leaky injector that isn't seating correctly when powered off.
