On 87 to 90 Jeeps it's easy to check your CPS. It's in Cruisers Sig, Linked, on-top if you click on mine.

You know if all of the sensors and electronics check out it could be mechanical.
Maybe loose intake?

Good news!!

Backfiring through the intake is usually caused by low fuel pressure.

Glad the problem is fixed. But a question... the fuel gauge didn't indicate it was empty?

Back in the begining of this post, didn't he say he ran another wire to the fuel pump (12 volts) as it was not getting any power ??? Isn't the fuel pump supposed to have 5 volts vise 12 volts to run it.???

Nope. Battery voltage on starting, about 10 volts on running because the voltage is reduced through the fuel pump ballast resistor in that position.
