s4 t2 barely idling, not taking gas. backfiring hard on decel.

car was running perfect, took it to a car wash about 10 min away. no boosting or any hard driving. go to start the car up after, starts fine, but wont take anything but very very light throttle. drove it very easy home, any type of decel while driving it backfires like crazy. any clues as to what it will be? vid of it idling now

well i took the upper intake off to check the injector connectors, noticed the 2 vaccum caps i had under there looked funny. took a closer look and found they both melted thru. replaced them with much thicker ones and all is well again.
