My Cavalier: 5 speed standard will backfire only when I accelerate hard - stomp on the gas.  
  
  
  
 It idles fine now but on occasion, it will miss every 30-40 second. Other than that it’s fine.  
  
  
  
 Other than that, it runs fine.  
  
  
  
 What I’ve done so far:  
  
 Re-gapped the plugs.  
  
 Changed the wires.  
  
 The injectors sound fine  
  
  
  
 I tried to change the fuel filter but the GM quick connect is now a permanent connect - I couldn’t get the thing off no matter what I did.  
  
  
  
 Any ideas?

The check engine light isn’t on and I made sure all the vacuum connections were fine - the one from the EVAP can to the back of the intake manifold needed some new hoses, but other than that, they were all fine.
