have you been able to have the computer scanned for trouble codes? that would be a good first step. its backfiring so it is obviously getting spark, just not at the right time. is it backfiring through the exhaust or is it comming out the throttle body?

yes i believe the cam sensor is the important one and the crank sensor is for diagnostics.
