Do you have normal compression in all cylinders ? An exhaust valve could be burned or sticking open.

SOURCE: jumped timing?

It really does sound like the timing went out of whack. The timing belt should be replaced periodically, according to your owner's manual. It may have worn and stretched just enough to slip over a cog a bit. Remove the timing belt covers and check the alignment of your cam and crank. There should be subtle marks on the cogs and the rear cover or casting. The compression will be good during a cranking test, but will not be ok during a running compression check. Replace the timing belt and check the pulleys. If your timing belt did not slip, the timing chain tensioner or guide shoes may be worn and will require replacement.

SOURCE: FORD cortina 3.0L V6 starting problems.recon tops

Have a look at the coil and its supply lead, standard it has a 9v coil and a resistor wire in the harness, this gives trouble ar resistor wire is odd and will not solder or weld and its expansion when hot loosens crimps! If you put 12 volts into a 9v coil it overwhelms (magneticly) the windings and gives a poor spark, also burns the points.

Won't start !!! 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4

There are several things that could be causing your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 to backfire through the intake and not start properly. Here are a few things you can check:
  1. Check the spark plugs: If the spark plugs are worn out or not functioning properly, they can cause the engine to backfire and not start. Check to make sure the spark plugs are in good condition and are properly gapped.
  2. Check the fuel system: If the fuel system is not delivering fuel properly, the engine may not start. Check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel injectors to make sure they are working properly.
  3. Check the ignition system: If the ignition system is not functioning properly, the engine may not start. Check the ignition coils, distributor, and ignition control module to make sure they are working properly.
  4. Check the timing: If the timing is off, the engine may backfire and not start. Check the timing belt or chain to make sure it is properly aligned.
  5. Check the compression: If the engine has low compression, it may not start properly. Check the compression using a compression tester.
If you are not familiar with these systems or are unsure how to check them, it is recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

I have a 1999 plymouth breeze and replaced water pump and timing belt due to pump locked up and all the teeth gone off belt now. 2.0 SOHC that after setting belt and timing correctly the car wont start...

In general, backfiring indicates the cam, crank and ignition are out of time or out of phase. The timing marks on the crank and cam just line up the timing of the cam and crank. The alignment of the spark with them has to be phased at the right time too. Check the manual for how to set the distributor timing after an engine repair

Runs good cold,runs bad when it warms up

misfire is bad timing
check cam time.
check spark timing.
bad timing causes backfiring..

did you put the spark wires back like you found them or better the correct firing order? if not it backfires.
last is lean backfire.

1998 v6 mustang backfires through exhaust at 2000 rpm

Could be many things, the most common being spark plug wires, or the plugs themselves. Or the cam, or valves or timing. Change the wires and plugs to start with, and see what happens.

Backfires when I take off

backfires to the Aircleaner (can cough or pop)
or to the end of exhaust tail pipe.
the former is bad cam or spark timing or both.
the latter is rich fuel mix and exhaust leaks.
air plus fuel equals muffler explosions. extreamly loud.

Why my 1997 f150 4.2 runs bad

Fuel supply or valve-train issues come to mind.
If the fuel mixture is lean, that will cause backfiring and loss of power. Poor fuel atomization caused by incorrect pressure or plugged injectors should be considered.
Cam timing is a possible issue. Has the cam drive slipped?
Best wishes!

94 bonneville changed fuel pump starts backfires and dies

Well, since it won't run, you cant check timing with a light. You could try static timing: Bring #1 piston to TDC by mark on scale by crank pulley. Take upper timing chain cover off. Cam pulley should have a mark or circle or dot that lines up with mark on bloick. (Need to make sure you are on compression stroke, not exhaust stroke of piston. How? Best way is pull spark plug and hold finger or thumb over plug hole. As you turn crank (clockwise) with a socket approaching the TDC mark, you will feel pressure build on your finger if you are on compression stroke. Could also have someone bump starter a little at a time, you can feel pressure build on your finger as piston approaches TDC. When it's close, use socket to line up crank pulley with mark.) Now check cam pulley for those timing marks. Valve timing off is often cause of backfires. So is too much gas, but first I would make sure timing is right.
