A bad ignition switch caused backfiring??  How did u determine this?  What 
tests did u use?  I would think a bad ignition switch
would cause backfiring on a regular basis while the car is running, depending 
on where the keys swayed to.  Was this the case
w/u?  Or did u just get one and that was it?

    Thanks...
