I've also seen the intake backfire on my car because the plug wires were on wrong too. :D Right in my friends face.. He was looking at the distributer with his head right by the intake. :D

I think this may have happened to me. Can anyone post a pic of how your plug wires are supposed to go? Thanx for the help.

it can also be caused by improper ignition timing.
