You may have a misfire and that will cause a backfire thru the throttle body. Replace the spark plugs and wire set, if you are having a misfire problem. Also clean the throttle body too.

This can commonly be attributed to a cracked flex plate. I doubt you have the best tools to diagnose which would be an oscilliscope.
