Motor Problems car wont start
I just installed my transfer case and everything went smoothly, i drove my car around for about 30 mins is drove smooth and fine i boosted it a little and it seemed strong. When i was driving it back to my apartment, i put it into third got on it a little bit (about up tp 4 grand) and i heard a pop sound and the car just died.
So i figured it was the intercooler piping that blew off cause is sound JUST like that. I got under the car and everything was super tight . So i started the car up again and it would idel like there was no MAF in the car, poping and makein weird noises and it would stall again. So i coasted to my apartment tried truning it over a few times and would idel really rough and pop and sound like a clunking noise from the head. I pulled the plugs and they look normal, looks like the gears are lined up like they should be.
im really confused as to what my issue could be. the car doesnt start now and i have a feeling that it could be bad this time. any insight is appreciated.

MAF is plugged in good, i even unplugged and plugged it back in. The recirc valve is tight im going double check when i get home from work. Also i have a cat delete so i always have a CEL but im going to scan it today and see if it comes up with any codes.
The car did sit for the winter and i just pulled it out and it had low gas(just under a quarter tank) and the gas that was in there was about 6-7 months old (i did use fuel stabilizer when i put it away for the winter). Could that have anything to do with it?
