Sounds like a timing problem. Your belt may have slipped or broke. try to remove part of the front cover over the belt and look as someone trys to start it. if the belt doesn't move, it's broke. You can also chech the timing by turning the motor by hand until the timing marks are lined up. the number one piston should be at the top of it's stroke. If it isn't then it's jumped time.

What causes a car to stall then backfire?
Your car backfires when you need a new transmission,or tune up. How do you know the difference? Simple...if your car backfires then wont start, or wont start and then backfires,you need a transmission. If it backfires, and then starts moments after, you need a tune-up. Glad to help...David

First check for fire at any of the sparkplugs and if you have spark then check your fuel pressure and if its not within specs then replace the pump.

Check the timing for the 90 Corsica. the most likely cause for the engine not starting is it has jumped time causing the engine to fire at the wrong time.

Check the crankshaft sensor. Also check the timing and timing belt. The backfiring indicates that the engine is firing at the wrong time.
