Check Engine Light - Ford Ka
Hi!
I've had my Ford KA for a couple of months now (it's my first car, 04 reg) and the check engine light came on when I had only had it for a couple of weeks. We took it to the garage and they said there was a misfire on cylinder 2, which they fixed. One of the other issues was that the exhaust pops when the car is running, which we told the mechanic but he said this was a common issue with KAs and was not something to worry about. The light stayed off for a while, but recently it came back on again. This lasted a few days, then it went off for a few days, and now it is back again. When the light came back on I noticed that the car was spluttering slightly when in 1st and sometimes 2nd gear. Does anyone know if this may be due to the exhaust popping (even though this is a consistent problem while the spluttering is not) or had a similar thing with an intermittent check engine light?
Thank you!

Oh yeah? Did the car come with this bumper sticker then?

The most common cause of a popping exhaust (by far) is a small hole in it. I'd put money on that being the cause of the problem with your car.
