backfiring isn't a good sign. if it's doing this ou should check to see if your timing chain has jumped. you'll have to gtit up to #1 then pull a valve cover and see if the #1 cylinder valves are both closed. #1 is on the right side front whichis on the firewall side on your car. Also check your fuel pressure.
