Update: Changed the fuel filter, no change. Changed the timing just a bit no change. I am now begining to wonder if this could be electrical as now the car is not starting on it's own. Put cables on it and bang fires right up. Take the cables of, turn the headlights on and she stalls. Also, the other night when the bulk of all of this became worse, I noticed that my turnsignals were flashing very slowly. Ground issue? Bad altenator? Would an electrical problem cause my backfiring/breaking up problem or is all of this two seperate issues?
