Backfire at starting???
97 F-150/4.6.
Starting it and the backfire up through the intake occured. Stopped that engine in a Jerk!
Started on the second try though.
I never heard of a Computer controlled engine backfiring.
Got any ideas on this one?

I've never smelled any fuel around the engine (or the whole truck for that matter)
It does lose Anti-freeze over time. Probably a couple quarts over a 20,000 mile period.
It's had a check engine lite on ever since I've owned it. Something about the EGR.
It still gets 14 Mpg and only sometimes does it miss in the mornings till its gone a quarter mile or so.
It has a myriad of other small faults but they are not engine related.
