Angry some advice please!

ok my car will start and run just fine. and ill let it run for 5 min and ill get in it and ill start to back up and it will die,then it really hard to start and you can tell its getting fire, when it turns over it will try to start but instead it will diesel and clatter. when it finally does start it will bog when you gas it or its acts like it dont want gas, also while that it will back fire out the tail pipe every now and then.ive changed the opti,icm,cps, and coil. any suggestions what it could be?

have you check your fuel pressure by hook up a gauge on the fuel rail ? im affaird its your fuel pump, but check the pressure first, make sure it have no leak some where. Like injector leak or something. Keep us update how it go.
