C'mon, guys. With the vast pool of experience, knowledge, talent & expertise out there; someone ought to be able to come up w/ SOMETHING -- even if it's

I think it has
 

something to do with air. You are increasing or decreasing the amount of air back through the EGR valve or type of valve. Less air and you run rich, get backfires, too much air and you start to run lean and cook your rings/pistons. Just right and something about a baby bear will sleep in your bed...i dunno, i wasn't paying attention that day in school.
