Good afternoon.
Is the check engine light on? If it is, do you know the code?

Have you checked the fuel pressure?

The backfiring may be from running lean or it may be a valve train issue. I would also do a compression test.

Thanks for the recommendations, but I have figured out the issue; I had a dirty mass air sensor.
