91 Eagle Talon HELP! Fireball out of Intake

[Flamebo1313]

I got an eagle talon 91 Non Turbo. I bought the car and it wasn't running. So Ive replaced about everything that could be wrong. New ECU, different cam angle sensor, battery, replaced belts (including timing, damn sure I got it timed right), new spark plugs, and all new fluids. I am gettting spark and fuel from the injectors. The deal is I was spraying some starter fluid in the intake while cranking the car and BOOM!!! A fireball came out of the intake manifold. I have the feeling this is bad. Anyone know what the problem is. I think it could possibly be bent valves. I am going to do a compression test when ever I can find the equipment but untill then any help would be great.

i doubt its anything big. cars will backfire out of the intake when you put to much gas in (and other stuff to) you have something else wrong

Do a compression test and come back to us with the numbers.
I seriously doubt you hurt anything with flames out of the intake. Those with wet nitrous kits shooting air and fuel in through the throttle body elbow are pretty much doing the same thing (although while the car is running).
