Could this also be an explanation for my car having a tough time starting occasionally? It won't happen at a cold start but if drive a short distance (less than 5 miles) and then go to crank the car up again, it takes at least two tries. I had it happen a couple weeks ago in a situation where I had the car running for nearly an hour and it still did this to me when starting back.

In all situations this has happened, I had the car off for under 15 minutes.

In my case, I did not have any issue to start the engine. I also did not feel any power loss. Popping sound happened not only cold start, but also high load @ low rpm (2500-3500 rpm).

What gas are you running?
