Default Problem starting the car

when i try to start my car it will start turning over and then it will stop and make a popping noise. i think the popping im hearing is just a noise going through my exhaust pipes but im not sure. kinda sounds like a backfire or something. i dont know. its been doing this on and off for a few days now. and the other day i was stopped at a stoplight and i started to go. when i first pushed on the gas it kinda stalled out for a second and then it went and ran normally. its only done that once though. if anyone can maybe help me figure out what is wrong i would really appreciate it. my car is an automatic and i have a tune that came with the tuner i bought from AM.

no i've had the tune in there for about a year. it has run perfectly fine until a couple days ago. and i forgot to mention it doesnt do this everytime i start the car. only maybe 1 out of every 3 or 4 times i try to start it. do u guys think i got some bad gas or maybe an injector is bad?

i've never changed any plugs in my car. my other mods are xpipe, catback, gears, CAI, and throttle body. i dont think any of those would have to do with the problem though. my dad is convinced the problem is electrical, like something with the starter. but i dont think so because of the time it stalled out on me. i dunno though im stumped.
