97 f 150 backfire

My truck started misfiring only when under load when driving in to low of a gear. just replaced plugs, wires, and cam sensor. crank sensor and coil packs about a year ago. any suggestions. it runs fine under normal circumstances.

no. I had a thermostat housing gasket leak and fill up the plug holes, that's why I replaced the plugs and wires again. it has bosch wires and bwd coil packs. was getting code repeatedly for 0305, cylinder 5 misfire but haven't got the code yet since then. it runs beautifully unless your kinda in to low of a gear and giving half throttle. The backfire is making me lean towards timming since it backfires and doesnt miss. maby crank sensor needs replaced again? I appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks
