im guessing you changed the cap and rotor after the incident so it should be clean and dry i would double check all your spark plug wires if you are leaking spark thru a wire it could be transfering to another plug wire firing a cylinder off at the wrong time. if you want to blame the icm (the points right?) i would make sure they look nice and clean and no excessive movement not to mention the shaft it is on

What would cause your 1999 Chevy suburban to backfire and blow off the air filter at start up?
your timing could be off causing it to advance or retard the timing when it doesnt need to, does it run well once it is started, also be careful with backfires if it backfires part way through the compression stroke you can damage your piston and connecting rod.
