Code 43 is a cylinder misfire so yes that is why you feel like there is lost HP. Start by changing your spark plugs and if it is no different then change the plug wires. If this doesn't help then it maybe something more serious like the coil.

It's not going to damage the engine, I said more serious because a new coil is like $150!!!!

Just throw some new plugs and wires on there and you will probably have all the problems solved.
