Need some help troubleshooting....
I'm posting on my friend's screen name. I drive a 03 black evo. And I need some help troubleshooting. My mods are megan racing catback exhaust (second o2 sensor is not attached), apexi SAFC, AEM intake, Turbo XS MBC, Walboro 255 fuel pump, ralliart sparkplug wires, and 1 step colder NGK iridium.
I was doing some AWD burnouts in circles, and the car was running fine until I got off the gas. The car started bogging and died. I thought it was my IC piping or I was running real rich. I look over all my IC piping and everything was good. Than I assumed my engine was flooded with fuel. I checked my sparkplugs, disconnected the fuel pump, and cranked the motor w/o the plugs to get excess fuel out. Than I cleaned the fouled plugs and put them back in. The car started, but it sounds boggy and there is loud pops out of the exhaust that sound like cannon shots. I assumed my car was missing, but all plugs seemed to be getting spark. I have not tried to drive with it in this condition and wanted to know if you guys had any input on what the problem might be. Thanks!

When I checked the plugs they were very black (rich) and after i cleaned them and drained the engine of fuel I put them back in,(and even tried some others).

This is my car btw I dont have and OBD II reader. The car idles like crap when I give it gas it sounds like a V8 and it wont go over 3500-4000k rpm and gets there very slowly. When I turn the car on there are a few loud pops from the exhaust and if I give it any gas it will start poping when I let off the gas. I am guessing this is a limp mode can any of yall give suggestions besides spark and intercooler piping that could cause this?
Please dont post anything unless you have a suggestion*

It could be your MAF meter that took a sh** .Maybe its giving incorrect signals going to the Ecu. Check your MAF meter if the sensor wire is contaminated by dirt or grime. If it is , spray it with brake cleaner and blow it of with a blow gun. ( check if its still plugged in)
Or it could be a TPS ( throttle position sensor ). Its located on the throttle body. Check if its still hooked up, it could've jarred the connector loose while you were doing your st*** stunt.
Or maybe its as simple as a poped intercooler hose.
