if it backfires it could be timing or else you have it flooded from trying to start it. You didn't say if the engine is carb or fuel injected. If it is carbed, let it sit for awhile to let the gas drain out of the carb. If it is fuel injected then it is probably timing. year make and model of vehic and millage

How do you know if your car has jumped timing?

You will know if your car has jumped timing by the way it starts up. If the engine is slow and sluggish, it could be a sign of jumped timing. Also listen out for strange noises coming from the engine or if it backfires, it is likely that there has been a change in the timing sequence.
