Default 93 5.0 mustang, backfiring, possible timing issue??

Hello everyone, I have a 93 5.0 mustang that is almost bone stock. I was driving down the road the other day and I was driving it hard so I stomped on the gas and it backfired pretty loud and shut down. I pulled off the side of the road and checked the cap, rotor, plugs and wires but didn't see any signs of bad news. After a few times trying to start it I finally got it to fire up and I went straight home. It will start up and run now but it sounds like it's missing. I haven't been brave enough to actually drive it again in case it shuts off and I'm stranded. I have had problems like this with other vehicles fad it was either the distributor, ignition control module, or the rotor button. I am almost certain it is a timing issue but just not sure what it is. The only thing I can think is to have the control module tested or replace the distributor in the car to see if it helps. Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated

First thing I would do is check to see where the timing is at right now. Was the car running good before this happened?

Check your fuel pressure,could be a clogged fuel filter or pump going bad.

Then the ignition coil pack.
