Good morning,

I assume you mean backfiring.

This happens when a spark occurs when it should not. It could be a distributor cap, ignition wire, or lean or not enough fuel.

Is the check engine light on?

I attached a guide for you to read for this issue.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
