Smptoms indicates fuel is getting to the cylinders but they are not igniting.

Did you check for sparks at the plugs?
Was any repairs carried prior to this occurring?

Have the ignition timing checked. If it is too advanced or retarded, it can cause backfiring.

Btw, ensure the spark plug wires are connected correctly. Putting them on the wrong cylinder can cause non starting and backfiring.
