I would go through this procedure if you find no faults you may be looking at worn/burn't valves

BACKFIRING

Ensure ignition timing is correct.
Ensure timing belt/chain has not jumped.
Check distributor (if applicable).
Check for gasoline in oil.
Ensure fuel injectors are not leaking.
Check spark plugs.
Check ignition and coil circuit.
Check engine speed sensor.
Check throttle switch and connector.
Check exhaust system.
