On ocassion it will backfire through the exhaust. I have checked the timing again and again. everything lines up. Has anyone experienced this problem at all.

On ocassion it will backfire through the exhaust. I have checked the timing again and again. everything lines up. Is this the 95? It would help if you explained how you lined up the timing. A common error is using the wrong crank mark. If the static timing and firing order are good, it may be flooded. Pull the fuel pump relay and crank the gas out, put the relay back in and try it. If it starts but floods again soon after, check ECT, MAF, and TPS. Also make sure the FPR is getting vacuum. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -George Santayana

All seems to be well. Is flooding a problem with the fuel injected motors? I will give that a shot in the morning.

You can pull a plug and check if the plug is wet with gas too. Common things left off would be the vacuum to the FPR, the MAF connector, the ECT connector, the TPS connector... If it fires up and then dies from flooding again after unplugging the fuel pump relay to clear the cylinders, then something is causing still causing it. If you don't see anything amiss, try checking the fuel pressure. If it just won't fire up, static timing or fireing order are still suspect.
