Is there a check engine light on? If so, you need to begin by having the computer scanned for codes. Part stores will do this for free. Get back with me with the codes and I"ll help you from there.

Check fuel pressure at idle and when you place the gear shift in drive. (Jack up the front wheels and block the rears) The pressure should be between 39-45 psi at idle and not drop more than 5 psi in gear. If it does, check for a clogged fuel filter first then remeasure. If the same problem, check fuel pressure regulator. You may have a leak. Pull the vacuum hose and check/smell/feel for gas. If there's any, replace it. Also, when remeasuring fuel pressure, pull off the vacuum hose while the engine is running. The pressure should increase. If it doesn't, replace the FPR.

If both the filter and FPR check out good or are replaced, next check the fuel pump.

Yes the pressure regulator is built into the pump. If the pump is new, then so is the regulator. Also, if your cam sensor was bad, the computer would see that and set a code.

Also, when you have a backfire, does it come out the tail pipe or the intake manifold?

I need to know if your backfire is in the intake or exhaust. Your PCM is the very last thing you should suspect. You have to eliminate all other possibilities first.

You shouldn't keep replacing parts without testing them first. That obviously hasn't worked so far.
