I have a 1990 pontiac firbird that is backfiring oout the exhaust on deceleration. I have checked the timing, replaced the distributer cap & rotor, plugs, and wires. I have replaced the check valves for the air injection system. Checked the air pump and air valve. checked out good. What in the world am i missing??
