An overload of fuel. It gets forced out during the exhaust cycle and is ignited in the exhaust system. My car has been runnig pig rich and backfiring big time for a while due to a bad intake air thermosensor "code 11". I am in the process of fixing that now. That seems to be my cause but I am sure there are other causes.
