At start up the vehicle makes a loud grinding sound. The sound goes away once the vehicle is started. If the vehicle is turned off after driving and restarted the sound does not reoccur. This only happens at start up after sitting for a long period of time. The vehicle currently has 74,000 miles on it.
It sounds like your starter is about ready to go out
depending on your starter the solenoid is going bad .
Starter may be bad .

I had the same problem but not with the popping sound. Try checking your vacuum hoses. My problem was with the PCV Valve elbow. It is located under the air intake hose.
