Get a random backfire when cranking, sometimes it will even stall the starter for a split second, sometimes it will backfire and then you need to crank it for about double the normal cranking time, mostly happens when engine is partially warm but will do it on cold start or when fully warmed also. Only codes present are a code for clutch pedal position switch because it's jumped. This is a 93 federal emissions 4.0 with a manual transmission, installed in a 86 ranger. No other codes KOER or KOEO, Wiggle test comes up ok, live data looks good, and a vacuum gauge shows nothing strange when its running. No random CEL flashes (I installed one) either. Only aftermarket modifications are a pair of pacesetter headers and an AEM Brute Force dryflow filter. Has me stumped
