Backfire is usually caused by a timing problem or maybe a fuel problem.
Hope this helps.

Backfiring and missing

possible couple of things
low battery voltage by the system not charging enough
overheating component in the ignition system--coil failing when hot
engine overheating- no air flow around head and cylinder fins from dirt and rubbish

Audi a4 1.8 can't start after top was overhauled is making a weird sound like backfiring the engine dont even move please help camshaft marks was done as well as pulleys and the pistons was also put on...

Back fire is only caused by intake valve being open when a spark plug fires on a cold engine.
Recheck timing marks of cams where the drive sprocket notch of each cam shaft aligns with the cam cap mark at the rear of the head.

It has been known for the crank sprocket to come loose on the crank nose and timing will be off if this is so.

Ford Focus 2005 - cold start backfire - runs great after 5 mins, when hot

White Smoke out the exhaust, is usually a sign
of coolant & most likely the start of a bad head gasket

At this point your use of the car should be curtailed,
to prevent any further damage

You should not use the car at all, until all issues are
diagnosed & resolved

Plan on using other means of transportation

backfireing in the coolant system is a sign your head gasket is blown or cracked block or head. Do a compression test ot confirm the integrity of the engine

My RV cam broke in my jeep.

Possible low/insufficient oil to the heads/cam causing the cam to lock. Excessive sludge build up, or defective/worn head or cams. I would have the camshaft lobes checked for scorging, warping before replacement. Hopefully this helps

Truck backfiring willnot idle

Check your head gaskets. And your exhaust gaskets, you have blew one of the gaskets your head gasket will leak oil and your oil will look milky and watery. Your exhaust you are going to have to take off and see
