Ideas?

I developed the same problem very suddenly yesterday, except the popping was coming from the passenger's side. I had been swapping out the valve cover gaskets right before the problem began...when I got it back home I found that somehow I had "dislodged" the distributor cap and it was "cocked" slightly rearward....naturally, the sparks were flying all over the place. Once I had it secured again the problem went away.
Check yours...it doesn't need to be off by much.
