Severely over-fuelling I should think.

Where are you?

sounds like overfueling with the backfires, not to sure about the popping noises, sounds like it's time to get a tune up!

where abouts in the country are you, see if anyone knows a good tuner by you who can set it up, can make a massive difference to the car for little money and can save something from going bang and costing alot more!!

Get it setup anyway and make sure it is fueling correctly!
