What I mean by "trips out" is that the engine sound like its about to take off but it seems like it barly moves and the rpm moves up and down and also after it sound like a poppin noise some what like a back fire

so you floor it and engine sorta seems sluggish and seems like its about to take off....does it ever take off? it seems like you describing the sluggish DRIVE BY WIRE system our cars have but a misfire, clogged fuel injector or something else going on with it seems more likely....ne CEL lights?

CEL would go on if injectors, plugs, timing are bad. But I think it's clogged cat. The third cat. Because that one has no sensor to monitor it. How many miles do you have on your car? It even could be your transmission. But if you said it backfires, I think your cat is clogged.
