probably weak battery. had the same thing happen to me. i thought i blew my motor. i would push start the car, and it would sound like i was running on three cylinders and die after like 20 feet. go get your battery tested at an auto store.

the only things that come to mind are battery(you say its good), starter(wouldn't cause your car to backfire though), and distributor. somebody else?
