im assuming it is an injected engine??.....if so, you could have an injector leaking down or something in the computer delivering fuel at the wrong time....
if a cylinder fills wit fuel and dumps it into the exhaust while not on the firing stroke, this will ignite at start up and cause a pop or backfire and maybe even stall the engine
