The Intake Air Controller is fucked and you won't be able to rev high because the ECU is confused. Luckily, you just have to replace it (under the intake tube, between the strut tower and the manifold). IAT is Intake Air Temp, which will cause you to run too rich, thus the backfire. I recommend first you disconnect the battery for 10 mins, and then reconnect the battery, start the car, and idle the car for about 2-5. It will reset the ECU and this way you will be able to make an accurate diagnostic.
