back firing, replaced crank postion sensor, 02 sensor, coil pack, and spark plugs. still backfires seems to be getting to much fuel.

Backfire is usually a result of LEAN FUEL. Look at the front top of the engine and make sure the MAP sensor hose is in place.

Restricted Exhaust, particularly a Catalyst that is clogged, will reduce the amount of vacuum available to the sensor, and hence , Disrupt the fuel curve.

Not sure but I seem to remember something about timing/camshaft belts on these engines being a common problem in the past. Perhaps a check in that area will hopefully eliminate that as a possibility. Just a thought.

But did you check/replace the coil TOWER?????..........The big plastic piece the coils sit in?????............Carbon tracking/cracks can cause the engine to run like a car with a cracked distributer cap...........
