Too far advanced can result in pinging and detonation. Too far retarded can result in a lean mixure, lack of power/throttle response and back firing through the exhaust.

what year car are you talking about
if its a 4.6 motor
their is no way your timing is off couse
the only way to set timing is with the computer or if you added a timing adjuster to your car

you might have a bad sensor, or maybe the injectors,fuel filter are pluged and couseing it to run lean and back fire,
