between there and bring towed him his Cadillac
converter on his passenger side was cut off. My
friends boyfriend looked at it and the starter was

Backfiring is usually a symptom of a jumped or broken timing chain or belt. Do a compression test. If all cylinders test very low or zero it's jumped timing. Also, the catalytic converter probably blew off when it backfired. Hope that helps! Jim
