Hello, my suggestion would be just opening the hood when the noise goes on. Try to locate where the noise comes from. I have similar problem with my Taurus 2000 SE. It occasionally makes the noise somewhere under the hood. I sent the car to pep boys today. they were not able to locate the noise because it was quiet . so i have to wait until the noise goes up again and open the hood and see.

What makes a car backfire?

bad ignition timing is correct. The timing gears may have slipped, and if the timing system uses a belt instead of a chain then the belt could have worn. The timing systen keeps the intake, exhaust and cyclinder pistons all in time so the engine will fire correctly. If the belt or chain slips even just a small amount, then the valves let gas in or out before or after the piston is at the point where the cylinder shout fire the spark plug. If the belt or chain slip far enough the engine will not fire at all. Bad ignition timing or fuel getting to the exhaust.
