I just went through the same thing Try replacing the coolant temperature sensor , it's one of the cheapest parts . I paid thirteen bucks at Auto-Zone . If the sensor is defective it doesn't show up on the computer scan. It tells the computer the vehicle is still cold and it floods it with fuel causing backfire etc. The sensor is located behind the alternator. It is in the manifold. you need a 1/2 inch deep well socket , it's a pain to get the sensor wirer off though.

You will still have spark, car will try to start or backfire. If no spark at all the plugs see if you have GOOD spark from coil. If coil is working then you will find the problem in between the coil and the plugs, probably a distributor component issue. The ballast resister is a possible cause also.
