Idle backfire

Hello, recently my 95 Z on warm restarts the engine will have a rough idel that sounds liket he " Hot for Teacher " intro and a slight backfiring, which with my Borla sounds pretty loud. Is this the EGR setup or something ignition related? Thanks in advanced

Are any SES Codes thrown?

BTW, I love how you related the sound to the "Hot for Teacher" intro... Brilliant!

I would check your plugs, wires, coil, and opti. Backfiring usually indicates an ignition problem.

Thanks, yes the best exp I could do was that, just before the ride symbols.

About the SES code. Funny, the only time I get one is after driving in 6th gear and cruising only.

Recently the drum intro sound has gone away replaced with a slight low RPM miss.
