Re: what can be wrong

well, if fuel was being dumped in, then it shouldn't be backfiring. thats usually a result of a lean running condition. mine has slight backfire when it pop in the clutch when revs are above 4k, but it's nothing to worry about. I'm guessing yours has a pretty big backfire? well, i'm not sure that it would help, but try adjusting the TPS and set it up to run slightly leaner. u can use a camaro/firebird haynes manual to tell you what stock volts should be. all u need is a screw driver and a digital volt meter. try that and see what happens

Sounds like it's time to try a new MAP sensor. Either the sensor is trashed or one of the wires is open/shorted. You shaould have a 5 volt reference signal on one of the wires, and the others are signal and ground. I bet it's the sensor though.
