if its missin it could be a coil-pack or try a treatment thriugh it and see if that works, or spray a load of carb cleaner into the carb, throttle body is the dear part try the small things first chum.

I had that code and it was a dirty TB, just needs cleaned.

I had a similar problem sometimes when pulling away, no backfire though.  Same engine, 2001 AUM.  I cleaned the throttle body out with carb cleaner, all works fine now.
