Hi there. Check the camshaft position sensor and see if it has failed. Usually the engine will start and run with a partial failed camshaft sensor, however, when the sensor has failed completely and lost communication to the computer, then the engine will not start. Also check the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) and make sure that it is working. Unplug the sensor and see if the engine will start. If the engine starts with the MAF sensor unplugged, then replace the MAF sensor. If you need further assistance with your engine backfiring, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
