Intake backfire? What kind of S13? What motor, any issues?

yea i puffed smoke out my filter one time. its most likely your timing. retime the dizzy and see what you get. also check you ground wire for the ignition control module, it should be on the back of the head(exh side) and then check the module. mine fried on me and thats what my problem was the whole time.
