RE: Engine backfire on deceleration

it could have sucked the gasket in on the belly pan and is allowing air to
create a vacuum leak. this could create a lean condition contributing to
deceleration backfire......

The first thing I'd do is swap the cap and rotor, check the plugs for a lean
condition, and see if the wires need replaced......electrical misfires can
cause backfires during acceleration and deceleration

if it's running lean that will surely cause the backfire too.....there are
other causes too, but these are the major culprits.
