If the F pump runs and you have pressure/volume, will it fire on a short shot of ether? If so, look for a pulse at the injectors. Or, look there first

If I may, anytime you get a backfire through the intake either the spark is getting there at the wrong time or an intake valve is open when it should be closed. Since we don't know the mileage on the engine it could have jumped time or there is something in the ignition system that is sending spark to the wrong cylinder at the wrong time.
A compression test might help eliminate, or at least point you in the right direction.

Try to reset your dtc's, or unplug your battery for a while, sounds like it could be fuel control module though.

What engine do you have in it? Since I don't see it mentioned anywhere, Did you change the fuel filter? Did you just purchase fuel shortly before the trouble started? What did you do to finally get it to start?
