SOURCE: 1997 opel corsa 14i while drive if I depress accelerator car backfires,how do I fix that

Tune it up. New spark plugs if they are over 50,000 miles old.

Backfiring is typically a symptom that occurs with a gasoline engine that has spark plug wires crossed, spark cross firing inside the distributor cap in dust or condensation or an over lean condition.

If it runs smoothly when normal cruise it wouldn't be crossed wires so that leaves an over lean condition or cross firing in the distributor cap as the most likely causes. So check the inside of the distributor cap for moisture, dust etc and clean it if you find it.

Next, to check for over lean on acceleration the most likely is partially plugged fuel filter so renew it. Next step is to clean the fuel injector (s) with the good breed of fuel injector cleaner that you add to the fuel.
