The last time I fired it up it gave me:

P0300 and P0304-P0306
First, misfires on cyls 1-3 and cyl 4.

Then, misfires on cyls 4-6.

The most common cause of misfires are coil packs, spark plugs, air leaks, MAF, and/or engine sensors.

The hunting idle does suggest an air leak but you said that the car actually backfires which implies a timing issue and that is usually related to an engine sensor problem.
