    Did the backfiring do any damage to the airbox? If it has a hole in it from the backfiring that will cause it to continue.

    just buy a v8 lol
    Wouldn't be an issue with the emissions control system by any chance would it? If my memory serves me i heard that excessive idling or high revs can cause fuel vapour build up in the catalytic converter and may cause a backfire.
