Sounds like its backfiring, unburnt fuel in the exhaust is igniting...

backfiring thru the intake or exhaust? Are the plugs tight? Did it blow a plug out? Anything is possible

plugs are tight but i did have a bad o ring when i started the car and fuel squirted out a little so im not sure if maybe some got down in the plugs or if maybe some of the coolant got in them from where i changed the thermostat..


and backfiring through the exhaust

u probably got a bad coil then. if the check engine light is on take it to advance. (they will scan it for no charge) any code between a p0300 and p0308 is cylinder misfire. (ie p0304 is cylinder # 4 misfire. then u will know which coil or coils to look at. also what type of plugs did u use?
