These kinds of subjective issues can be very hard to diagnose with just a written explanation. Any way you can post a short video?

Tune (or tune-up i.e. plugs wires etc...) or exhaust leaks. If no codes I would not suspect O2 sensors although it could be.

Black00gts,
It could be a misfire.
So, try something easy first...
Ensure your spark plug boots are fully seated onto the spark plugs.
When you push the spark plug wire boot onto the spark plug you should hear a "click" and possibly feel it "snap" in.
If you are sure they are all seated properly and you still get a pop sound, then you can continue to troubleshoot the issue.
Good luck

When was the last time you did plugs/wires? If never, use the RC12ECC plug(champ 438) and get some new wires. Always replace the wires one at a time.

So, you got new wires? Replaced the 2000 ones?
That is only 17/18 years old!

How about the rubber? Do you use a 17 year old condom, I mean tires? LOL
