While trying to start engine kicks back hard enough to strip the teeth off the flywheel.

Have you checked timing? It sounds like it is too far advanced?

You're right on the money. I think that I've solved the problem. Seems that the crank shaft position sensor goes a little crazy and advances the timing up to 50degrees resulting in a no start, backfire, engine
kickback conditions. GM makes a revised sensor that
corrects the problem. Thanks again for quick responce
to my question.
