do you have a loose ground?
what you need is a wiring diagram.
check out all those things and see if theyre linked some how in the wiring.
if so, there you go. but that sounds like an opti problem

Default yo

if i had to take a stab a this on i would say that it is the injectors on the two cylinders. if the computer tells you which cylinders are miss firing switch them up with another.

Bad oxygen sensors or a bad maf will make a car run very rich and backfire a lot, but the cars computer doesnt use readings from them for the first few minutes of running.
Hi I think there are about 8 or 9 different reasons for it to back fire. Plugs and wires,mass air flow sensor, O2 SENSOR,To rich or to lean. Wore out cam. And of course it always runs better for a women to be under the hood! ( Just kidding y'all, Men can be great as well.
