Engine running hotter then 220 degrees can cause valvetrain noise. Bad fuel can also cause valve noise / PINGING sound. Ignition timing to high / Advanced to far, can also cause engine noise.

yes, backfiring is always due to ignition or timing problems. Backfiring through the carb can be a symptom of a lean condition.
What could cause engine jumping between 3000-5000 rpm on a Golf GTI 8 valve?
Could be a vacume leak or a sticking clutch or accelerator edal or cable. Timing could also be a problem. I advanced my ignition timing just a little bit and the problem went away.

Where are the timing marks on a 1996 Chevy Corsica 2.2 engine?
There are none. Ignition timing is not adjustable. Ignition timing and spark advance are handled by the engine controller module and the ignition control module, with inputs from various sensors. The engine controller is located by the passenger kick panel. The ignition controller is the thing the ciol pack mount on...it runs about $110 new. The ignition controller is often the cause of rough running, or idle problems as the spark advance function tends to crap out on this model of DIS ignition. Producing a constant error code, and therefore a constant check engine light.
Could ignition cause sudden engine failure?
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
How do you fix stalling engine?

What will cause a 1985 Chevy Celebrity to backfire checked timing compression both good vacuum gauge indicates valve timing out but heard flat cam and burnt valves or is it a timing set?
Since the compression is good I would not expect it to be a burnt valve. It could be timing if the timing chain has excess play. I would also check the ignition module and the engine control module. We had a 1986 Chevy Celebrity that had an ignition problem that cause it to run badly and backfire. The service engine soon light was blinking but not posting a code. We changed the engine control module and it fixed the problem.
