Discussion:
Backfiring

I have a 2018 toyota 8fgcu30. So we replaced the vaporizer because old one had a hole in diaphragm. It's been a month since we replaced it. It starts and runs smoothly but when you start driving it, it eventually backfires through the air filter. It literally blew apart the secondary air filter. What could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated

So the problem is the little solenoid valve that comes with the mixer. There was a short in one of the wires ans the plug. Replaced the plug, wire and solenoid valve. No more issues.

Normally most backfire problems come from some problem with the ingion system l would check the cap roter wires and plugs. check your coil and pick up. Very rarely but possible a intake valve could cause this. would have to be on the intake because you said it blows the air filter cap off. if it were backfiring from the muffler l would say it is a exhaust valve. with that said I myself have never seen that on a late model Toyota.

Fact of the week
In the UK, an old building standard called the "21-metre rule" is still used to protect privacy between neighbouring properties. The 21m (or 70 ft.) was set by urban designers Unwin and Parker in 1902. They derived this distance by walking away from each other in a field until they could no longer see each other's nipples through their shirts.
