this happened to me one time when my starter was going out. what i think happened was it was giving the engine fuel and air and spark but it wasn't turning then it just exploded in the engine. and a huge *** flame shout out the back and it sounded like a gunshot. no intake piping blew off though. hope that helps.
peace
