Leading evidence: 'Check no intermix either way' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check any fire damage (it was a really big boom)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Shut down, inspected the throttle cable, with no defects noted.

Pulled the MAF (carefully) and inspected with no damage noted.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Cranking motor after a five minute cooloff after a 120 mile drive. Nothing out of the ordinary noted.
Engine cranked over normally about 3 revolutions (or so), when BOOM!! and a big cloud of bluish smoke came out of the rear of the car.
Thinking that there was pissibly an induction fire (a la airplane piston engines), I continued to crank for a period of time to put out the possible fire. Very strong misfire, with minor pops for appx 1 minute.
Let the motor cool for 2 hours, pulled the air filter. No damage (lots of leaves though). No oil behind the butterfly noted. Pulled the MAF (carefully) and inspected with no damage noted. Reassembled everything and tried to start the motor with the MAF disconnected. Durametric codes of P1602 and P0102 pulled and cleared. Disconnected the battery for 30 minutes.
Instantly tried to go full throttle. Probably got up to 5000 rpm before I could react.
Shut down, inspected the throttle cable, with no defects noted.
Reconnected the MAF connector. Tried another start. Serious misfire, minor backfiring. Will not accelerate much beyond 1000 rpms.
No further codes came up, no indications from the Durametric-which I had to uninstall, reinstall and install another Windows driver.
BTW I borescoped around the intake runners, and didn't see anything unusual.
Any ideas?
Fuel delivery seems ok, based upon the rapid rise in rpms with the MAF disconnected. Don't understand why that happened, though.
Background: 16k miles after overhaul. No detritus noted when I removed the oil pan for a repair last week.
Normal cranking/operation since overhaul.
New AOS, Oil filler cap seal/tube all filters, etc.
More than half full of fresh fuel.
Let's go over this and maybe it will prompt smarter people than me to rescue us?
1. Lots of heat soak during the 5 minute 'cool-down'. Cats will be very hot.
2. Suppose you have a leaking injector, when you start it will blow raw fule straight into a very hot cat. Boom !
3.Durametric confirms it is not a timing problem. So it must be overfueling.
4.If it makes you feel better about replacing them, there are upgraded injectors available.
Good to hear there's no intermix. Did you go to DME/Actual values and click on the misfire counters for each individual cylinder? These counters are updated in real-time so the engine will need to be running.
Were the coils and spark plugs replaced during the rebuild?
Yes, i replaced just about everything. I tried to get to the individual values, but there was some issues with my laptop/Durametric, I guess. I'll try again tomorrow.
Also try disabling each injector (using durametric under dme/activation) and see if it makes any difference. That may help isolating a bad cylinder. Was the idle control valve cleaned? Cam deviation values?
Still can't explain your big boom though.
After disassembly I discovered the following:
Throttle body displaced to the left, causing a large vacuum leak
Connector tube also displaced to the left, connection hose ruptured in two places
intake manifold gasket displaced on #1 cylinder
I still need to pressure test the intake manifold on the left side to ensure there are no cracks, etc. even though none are visible.
I believe that the #1 injector was leaking, such that it allowed a quantity of gas to accumulate in the head above the intake valve. When I tried to start it, it flashed over and BOOM!
Replacement gaskets, connector tube, injectors and BTW a new battery cable, since mine is corroded. Cranked ok though. (Maybe a new seat bottom if I can't clean the origional seat up)
Anything I might be missing?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
