Last night I was coming home from the beach, getting on the highway. I was in 3rd gear, about 3500rpm. I went to merge into traffic so i put the pedal to the floor. The car fell on its face so bad and bogged down, then instantly there was a loud bang, like a backfire. I got off the gas right away as this all happening rather fast. The temp was good, oil pressure was good, boost and vac were good. And the air/fuel ratio was 14.5-15.3. I looked out the back while driving to see if it was headgaskets, but no steam, no smell, and the car didn't overheat, it stayed about 195deg in about 90 deg outside temps. The car acted normal the rest of the way home, and took some backroad ( the long way home) and kinda beat on it. The car pulled like a raped ape, and acted normal and a 12.1-12.4 air/fuel. I tried to get the car to do it again, but its fine. There is no oil in the coolant or vise versa, and no bubbles in the radator. I ruled out hg's.
I'm kinda baffled about this. I'm sure the car is fine, but it just makes me wonder. The car had about 1/4 tank of gas and the only thing i can think of is when i got on the long, sharp-turning on-ramp it sloshed the gas towards the drivers side of the car, and the baffle in the tank was dry, then when i went to get on it, it ran out of gas for a second, then when it received gas it backfired. This is just a therory, but its starting to make sense.
Any thoughts guys?
