Have you ever replaced the spark plugs? Check your spark plug gap + plug condition.

Retardation:
this happens because the mix is too rich and unburn gas mixture in the exhaust ignites; retardation of the timing. Which this usually happens with turbo cars, rich/timing retarded. This should not happen in an n/a car if it is properly tuned.
