Default Help: engine back fires idles super low?

The car pretty much back fires every once in a while full throttle a couple seconds it will putt putt till it works its way out and everyonce in a while on taking off I also noticed that at stops it almost idles at 0 but when my foot is on the brake the rpms drop let off the brake and it goes up just a little I know its not a leak already checked. I'am throwing a cell 43 replaced filter didn't help. So I'm thinking O2 sensor but I have no idea. Can anyone help, I have also heard IACV put I have no clue how to check it thats it please help its embarrassing to drive a backfiring machine thanks
