How can you make your car spit flames without the aid of a spark plug?
Just curious...

Engine got to be pretty powerful or can you just get them off like a 1.4 with a de-cat?

if it spits flames it will be running rich or a high performance vehicle, turbo's also like flaming it, if it's a 1.2 it's probably fucked or if it's a carb nova for instance drive along and switch off the ignition

Mine did it, at that point, I was getting around 170 miles from a tank of fuel (4 years ago) and the engine broke not long after.

carbs and very little in the way of exhaust baffling is usually a good way!

It's a great effect but unless you're running silly power it normally indicates over-fuelling which in turns usually means bore wash, which then impacts on oil consumption, generally not a good idea.
My Sport used to pop a little when it was cold out from cold when the recirc fan was on. Hardly flames though, just the odd little cough.
