I would check your vacuum lines. It sounds like your mixture is off. Also check your Ignition timing as well. I cant remember the factory spec off the top of my head, but a simple search should find it. That or another member will come along.

Also does it do this after its warmed up? when its cold? or all the time?

The pop pop pop sound is it backfiring through the carb.

Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

Might be the reed valve for the air injection? If you have that system....
