1990 crx dx

202200 miles, car still runs great 33mpg, thanks honda!

My question though is that when i start my car for the first time on a given day, it pops loudly. is this backfiring? if so how or what do i do to stop and fix this?
any help would be great
the motor is the d15 and its a 5spd if that matters
thanks for all the help in advance!!:grinyes:

I know its not what you might want to hear, but at that mileage, if it aint broken..dont fix it! I know in some cases, an engine that old is keeping itself together with gunk and grime and just being set in it's way so to speak...But anyway, is it popping from the exhaust or the engine, and where from..as best you can tell?

well i'm always in the car starting it but it sounds like from the motor. but where in the motor i don't know.
and yeah i agree its being held up with a lot of gunk and grime and road salt being from minnesota and all
