Popping??

I got a 85 Firebird 2.8L V6.. About a month ago it started popping through the intake manifold. I have replaced plugs,cap and rotor and fuel injectors. Ran good for like a day.. then it started again.. maybe its the timing that jumped idk.. Now it wont start at all. I have no idea wuts wrong with it.

Re: Popping??

Just a suggestion...hope its not your problem but I have an 83 that was backfiring through carb and tried everything I could and finallly got some advice that the cam may be bad, I tore it down and sure enough one lobe was completely round. It started off just backfiring at certain rpm but got worse and worse.
