The sooner you get it to a good mechanic, the better.
Jay is correct in that the 3.3 is a non-interference engine.
If its making "popping sounds" have it checked out by someone who takes strange noises seriously!

Sorry, I meant the 90,000 mile service. I did have it checked out before purchase.It runs beautifully. Clean oil etc. I have decided I would do the belt, etc just in case it was not done at 60,000. Do you think I should do the timing belt and a major service before I get to 90,000? I was told if the belt fails, it will just stop running, and I could do it then. What do you think about bouncing around a lot on a very bumpy dirt road every day.Of course I'd drive slowly.
Thanks a lot,
Steve
