bad axle joint or ball joints and turn stops can make popping
Need to replace the CV Joint, there are 2 per axel shaft if it's a 4x4 If you turn hard right and it pops then the outside CV joint needs replaced on the passenger side. If you turn hard left then it is the outside joint on the driver side that's bad.
Mine did this, replacement of distributor solved the problem. Go figure?!?
A front popping on the left of a 98 Blazer could be the brakes, steering, or wheel bearing. Check all three to find the cause.
Valves adjusted to tight. Firing order mixed up.

If your vehicle is a chevy, it`s probably a flat lobe on the camshaft (probably number 6 cylinder) If when you accellerate the popping comtinues and gets louder replace the cam and timing chain
The 2001 Chevy Cavalier may need a valve adjustment. Loud valves tend to create a clacking noise which could mimic popcorn popping.
either your timing is off or your valves still need adjustment
