Check timing, backfires through intake are that or a worn Cam. Or burned intake valve.

Timing is at 10deg.Did a tuneup about 1000 miles ago. Plugs,wires,cap & roter, air & fuel filter. Was runing fine one day the next started back firing all at once. Can get it to high idle. but whin you put it in gear and try to drive it will start back firing. No power. I'm thinking it's fuel or air
