Backfiring during acceleration can also be caused by internal carburetor problems, low compression, leaks in the fuel tank, lean engine conditions, and weak or broken valve springs.

Why does a Ford truck backfire?

Your Ford F150’s ignition system consists of spark plugs and ignition coil packs. Any part of the ignition system can go bad. When this happens a weak spark ignites the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber leaving fuel behind. On the exhaust stroke this mixture will burn up creating the loud backfire.
