maybe fouled out plugs. That made my car sound like an automatic assault rifle. Do you have an SES light on? If so, check your codes. Check fuel pressure.

Sounds to me like its not adjusting correctly when you are punching it, either running too lean or too rich at that point. Check the plugs and for any codes. My car popped like this before due to a bad MAF sensor and/or bad o2's.

mine pops like that also but it doesn't turn off the car. I believe it's due to me having trueduals and the back pressure
