If it is backfiring, then you should check your Ignition System and Engine Timing.
Did you get any recent repairs done near by the Timing Belt?

check for vacuum leaks and do a scan, even if check light is not on.

I just found out the problem. It was the timing belt and it's been fixed. But I still get a pop only only once each day.

A timing belt problem will definitely cause it to backfire.
