Hello Viper6..

Here are but a few things that could be causing the backfireing of your Honda car.
Fuel Injection system malfunctioning
Faulity ignition system, cracked plugs or wires, cracked distributor cap or rotor

This will give you a few areas to check out..hope this helps you!

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the advice, some of those were already on my mind, the distributor, wires and spark plugs. Do you think the timing could be off slightly?

RE: engine back firing
 

Yes, that can also be your problem..goes hand & Hand with the rest of the parts checking...

no i would say that the timing is probably fine. your distributor might be going bad, but its actuall location right now is probably perfect. sounds like a plug that might be bridged, or a bad wire

acceleration
 

does yours back fire when your accelerating?
