When I decelerate I often get loud pops and snaps and sometimes a
backfire that sounds like the crack of a rifle shot. Only happens when
decelerating briskly and foot is off the pedal or less than one quarter
In general this means a leak in your exhaust manifold, a similar sound,
although less dramatic on acceleration means a leak in your intake.
I'd look at you exhaust manifold gaskets, and any joints (cracks?) near your
manifold.
good luck
