I can help with the timing.

Put the IC system in the bypass mode by disconnecting the set timing connector. This is the single wire sealed connector that has a tan with black stripe lead. It is located near the VCM connector in the engine compartment.

With the ignition switch off connect the pickup lead of a timing light to the number one spark plug. Use a jumper lead between the wire and plug or an inductive type pickup.

Start the engine you should know what to do from here.

The timing should be 0degrees BTDC.

Don't forget to hook the IC wire back up.

I will look into the backfire situation for you.
