replace spark plugs but make sure you use AC delco from a current Mercruiser catalog. number has been superceded and there were alot of problems with the denso spark plugs. Im surprised you didnt store a misfire code in freeze frame though. Did you check freeze frame or only current Faults?

I did check store faults and there was none. hp500 I was thinking the same thing because when I checked the vacuum that it would pull it fell a little short of the spec.

if your fuel pressure is good WHILE EXPERIENCING THE POPPING (not just on the gauge idling), then look at ignition.
Yes, broken springs will cause popping too but a weak ignition will as well.
