Occasional backfire through the intake isn't that bad. Just means you had a quick spike of a lean mixture. It has happened to me a few times when I popped the throttle messing around. If it does it a lot, then I would be concerned.

i have the same exact thing happening in my 94. Spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out and never could. Car runs awsome only does it when you blip the throttle at low rpms.
My buddy just bought a 97 and his low end seems stronger and smoother than mine so i have to fix mine now. If you figure it please let us know.
