Bad backfire at idle and P1361

I was driving through a drive-through the other day when my car suddenly started to backfire every couple seconds. This only happened at idle, when i got on the gas it seemed like i went away. I drove straight home, about 20min, performance seemed the same, but I could've just been telling myself that. I scanned the car when I got home and besides the P0430 code "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)" that has been there for months now, it read P1361 - "Ignition Control (IC) Circuit Low Voltage". I have checked almost every forum and I have yet to find a straight answer on how someone's fixed this issue. I've found everything from replacing the coil and ICM, to replacing the opti. I replaced both the ICM and the coil last january, as well as the distributor portion of my opti, which I'd hate to think went again. I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I start replacing everything again. thanx
