Backfire can also be a worn distributor drive gear (timing is not adjustable
via the distributor).
Causes: Intake Manifold Leak, Blown Plenum Gasket, Distributor Drive Gear
worn (incorrect fuel sync), leaking fuel injector (loading up), broken EGR
(up to '95 models), arcing plug wires, leaking valve (exhaust is backfiring
through the intake), and in some cases...a broken/cracked crank sensor.

Backfiring is often a symptom of incorrect timing. Is the timing on a 92
set
the old adjustable way by rotating the distributor or does it have the more
recent technology where the engine computer does it all? You may not have
needed to replace any of those parts if it's just incorrect timing
