what would cause a backfire

ok we have gotten the windstar on and we think all the problems fixed so went to drive it around and when he went to wot it wouldnt shift. then when we got home it was idled up to 2k just sitting there. when we gave it gas and let off it is back firing like crazy what could it be.
