The IAT will effect and cause the backfire; it's thinking the incomming air is colder (denser) than it really is, which is causing it to use more fuel.

As for the MAP sensor, I'm not sure about that.

What year is your car? In a 93 speed-density, IAT is of major importance. In a 94+ MAF car, its a minor factor.

Why not include basic info like the year of your car in your "signature"?
