Have you checked the catalytic converter? Have you checked engine compression to see if there is a weak cylinder (possible burnt intake valve)?

The backfire through the intake has me confused a bit. Usually, that is the result of a timing issue or a burnt valve. However, either one of those problems would be present all the time.
