Yesterday When I turned the key to on I heard a popping sound. It does this occasionally. Might my injectors be leaking and when I switch my key to on it will ignite the fuel?? sometimes when I drive hard I can smell the fuel. my mods are microtech ems, FMIC, fuel pump, 12 psi boost.

Check for exhaust and intercooler leaks

Wouldn't that make my car run bad or idle bad?? cause the car runs fine. it's just before I crank the engine it gives like a pop sound in the rear. occasionally that is.

thanks

Are you sure it's the rear? If it's from the front, inspect your spark plugs.

If it's misfiring, your car is running rich. Check your o2 sensor and get it tuned up.
