Backfiring...

My car backfires loud when I get up to about 70 on heavy accel. then close throttle and then as I'm slowing down I can hear little ones. Also when I'm coasting on highway and give it some gas to accelerate a little, right when I press the gas I can hear some backfiring, but just for a second and it's only like 2 or 3 little ones. Any "usual suspects"?

If it does it only after you let off the gas then its normal.

It does it when I press the gas coming off a coast at about 60 or more.

sounds like regular exhaust pop, just unburnt fuel detonating a little late
