After my car had been driven around any more than five minutes once it was warm, if I cut the engine off and if I didn't start it within five minutes of shutting it off, when I go to start it, sounds like it's backfiring through the intake. I was getting codes 0401, and the low-catalyst code, which are now gone, but still 0133 and 0153. I replaced the EGR valve and the EGR Feedback Sensor which seemed to be the problem and it was doing fine. Couple days later, it's still doing the same thing. On a hot start, it will start, but sounds like a backfire. It will go but after about 2-4 times of trying to start it and pumping the gas. The only codes I'm getting now are 0133 and 0153, O2 sensors. I checked the EGR vacuum lines and they are clear. It's not a starter problem. Maybe a bad fuel regulator, but it will start, it just sounds like a backfire. Any ideas?
