Hi there. There could be several reasons for your vehicle’s intermittent no start issue. From the description you have given, I would not think the ECU (electronic control unit) is your vehicle’s problem. Assuming the ECU is not recognizing the fault, I would look in the direction of a possible intermittent ignition module failure.
The cranking and turning the key back which results in backfiring could be a faulty ignition switch. It could also be an intermittent control relay problem(https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/fuel-pump-relay-replacement). I recommend having your vehicle’s intermittent no start issue be diagnosed and repaired by a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic.
