2x backfire, sputtering, uh oh

[Y-me]

Hi all,

Had 2 backfires while under speed.
When back in the garage a slight smell of gas and muffler seems hot, sputtering at idle, perhaps a little hesitant too.
No codes.

2010 RS-S, with ~8315 miles, bone stock, no problems (until now).
Bad gas???, he though hopefully...:dontknow:

Thanks,
Y

Are you feeling any extra heat on the legs? If so check your y-gaskets.

I'd suspect bad gas first. I'd look at the ignition wires and spark plugs next. Beyond that there are some other possibilities that leave no codes.

Time to change to real (Honda) exhaust gasket.

:agree: With over 8 thousand miles on the stock gaskets there due.

Many thanks

Hi,

Is this the Honda part number 18392-MAM-000 the one to use for a 2010 RS-S with SE5?

Question:
Is this a GS/RS issue, or are the RTs affected as well?

I think someone posted a while ago that the GS/RS use a different size gasket than the RT',s .
The Honda's won't fit. :dontknow:

Thanks! Now that you mention it... pps: I should have been paying better attention in class...

Think it was the gas

Hi,

Filled the tank with high test and Sta-Bil ran it, let it sit for a day or two.
Used it for a 60 mile trip on Friday and it seems to be back to normal.

BTW: I have seen in other posts that the Honda's are supposed to work with RS.
I had already bought a couple so when it's due I'll post my experience.

Thx for the replies. :thumbup:

Best,
Y
