You have a 94 caprice classic if you supposed to get 220 volts 2 your heater element and you just getting 110 volts so whats the problem?
WHAT????? I hope this is just a comment that you have a caprice and has nothing to do with either 110 or 220 volts Heater element implies either a furnace or a water heater. Where are you checking the voltage? If at the outlet and you only have voltage on one side of the plug it's most likely a fuse or breaker. If there is 220 at the outlet but element is not heating it is the element. Under no circumstance get 110 or 220 anywhere near a 94 Caprice classic
Why is your water heater popping?
The water heater is most likely popping because of lime or seditment buildup in the tank. Depending on the age of the water heater, it may still have some service life yet, but flushing of the water heater may be required.
