Already replaced camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor. What else could be the issue?

Hi,

If you are getting a backfire through the intake, it could be a stuck or burnt valve. Also, a rich fuel mixture can cause a backfire as well. Timing is another possible cause.

Was there anything that led to this happening or did it happen all at once?

Let me know. Also, take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

Take care,

Joe
