i think its because of the K&N and the choke, its gets too much air, so gives the car too much fuel and thats what causes the backfires.. well thats how i justify it

yeah i'v notiched that mines makes that pop after i'v fitted a K&N cone, i went to halfords and got some new spark plugs that did nothing, so i reckon it could be the spark leads or the spark plug gap.

Not sure if this will help... but try resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a while or removing the fuse. I don't know if vauxhalls work out the amount of air instuff but i've been playing with hondas recently which recailbrate themselfs when reset...
worth a shot I suppose
