On acceleration, particularly when accelerating slowly, my car's exhaust sounds like it pops a bit and loses power.
Its not a loud ass back fire or anything, but just some mild popping/sputtering almost. Last time it was doing this really bad but it was just a dirty MAF, this time i've cleaned MAF and its still doing it.

Sometimes when i accelerate though, it doesnt do it, but at the next light it might...

Check your plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.
