I have never worked on a EFI golf cart, so do not have a idea what it may be. It could still be the linkage adjustment holding the throttle body open and some how sucking fuel. When letting up on the gas pedal it needs to close off any fuel. Remember in the old days turning off the ignition on your car, pumping the gas pedal, then turning the ignition back on, BANG, if you were lucky you didn't blow the muffler off Your golf cart turns the ignition off when you let up on the gas pedal, then you press down again it turns the ignition back on, hence backfire.
