Backfires? I'd check your plenum gasket...with the engine off, open the tb and see if you see a lot of oil residue down in the bottom of the intake. If you see a considerable amount, you've got a leak in your plenum gasket. Also would look for vacuum leaks.

Like GB said, check for vacuum leaks as well. You also might want to clean you IAC(located on the back of the TB. held on by 2 torx screws. becareful not to ull or twist the pintle on the end though)

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.
