Default Why would my pops and bangs suddenly stop?

As of this morning the zorst doesn't bang, the engine fires up quieter and there is a little less urgency in the acceleration (although it's still there). It has pissed down overnight and the car has always had a tendency to be lumpy in the wet, but this seems slightly different. It still burbles away but there are no bangs on changing gear...

Any ideas people?

Could be a MAF problem,

Maf doesn't see as much air, so doesn't give enough fuel, so doesn't run rich, so doesn't pop and bang

What car and any modifications?

I had a similar thing and I did a fault check and it was my knock sensor. Replaced it and she running like a dream again

1995 WRX

I have the fault codes and last time I had her in the garage I watched as my mechanic read the code and I understood how to read it too lol
