Default Cause of Backfire?

Basically this means the engine is running a tad rich. I don't see black smoke so it's not overly rich but I don't want to be doing rice sparks all over the place. Plus it burns more fuel than I want it to. Will getting a FPR solve this? If it does, I'll pick one up this weekend.

check your timing too, and possably use a lower octain gas, depending on what engine you have.

I'll check timing as for ecu, it's the one that came with my 95 JDM motor. I don't know what the code that is though. I know nothing about the ecu since I let the shop do everything.
