It really sounds like a fuel pump or possibly a clogged cat, if you've still got one. I think cooler heads will prevail in this one  and if you do get another car, what are you lookin' at?

no cats..........i changed the fuel filter,and cleaned the sock on the pump...it'll run fine for about .5 mile..and it will idle fine but as soon as i put any type of pressure on it it starts backfiring....now isnt backfiring a sign of too much gas?

Don't even think of selling her! She's just got a cold or a cough. You've got one the few truly unique pre 98's around. If the same thing happened to me, you'd be saying "fix it" to me too. It's just the Contour God screwing with you cause your car looks soooo good!

Replace it 
You can techically follow the UIM/LIM rebuild aide (from Ray) to get to the injectors. There was a set of 6 injectors in the classifieds a few weeks ago.. might still be there.

Before you go changing injectors, check your fuel pressure. You may have a bad regulator which will make you run rich, causing stalling and black smoke, BUT with the back fire from the exhaust it could be an ignition problem. You may want to check your ignition coil as a possible suspect. Usually when they go bad it will start and run until it heats up and shorts(could be seconds, minutes or hours). A bad ECT, TPS or MAF could also cause the same symptoms and it may not throw a CEL because the car wouldn't be running long enough to. Plugging it in to a diagnostic computer (NOT a code reader) should point out a dead or dying sensor in the short time the car will run.
