Fuel injectors failing? Usually popping and backfiring is a fuel/timing issue.

I'd guess that too also check your fuel pressure.

Fuel pressure is good acts like an ignition problem I had someone tell me there is a resistor in the wireing harness could that be the problem and If so where would it be located also the 2 beeps I am hearing are just like when you first turn the key on to start the engine
