ignition mod. grounds,pcm or timing belt could all be it but, I would have to look at timing first.

There are various questions to ask in order to help you.
When does it stall?
If it stalls when the AC of the car turns on, then this handy diagnostic article will help solve your problem:

Likely applicable to your situation--since you say the car runs fine when it is "warmed up"--when the car stalls because the engine is NOT warmed up and is otherwise cold, this handy diagnostic article will help solve your problem:
http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Engine_System_Engine_Stalls_When_Cold.htm
And as to backfiring when you initially run your car, this handy article really helps in identifying the common causes of such a problem:

it is always a good idea to stay with o.e.m parts and yes there is updated parts in the newer coils. and yes the M.A.F will also cause misfire faults but will not make check engine light flash or make car shake and shudder. also check you wire harness going to your coils make sure your ground wires are not cracked. That could be the main culprate. good luck hope this helps

gm has a problem with this from way back. double check your spark plugs and if they are not ac delcos, change them. ive seen this time and time again swearing, myself, that there is no way that the plugs would cause this issue. it always comes up with random misfire and usually another 1 or 2 codes misfire codes. put in ac delco, no more codes. let me know
There are few possibilities that can cause engine misfire issues.
It can be issue with spark plugs or faulty spark plugs. Also get the
compression test done for cylinders. If any of cylinder shows low compression
then required, then that particular cylinder will cause misfire.
Also get obd codes scanned, the error code will let you know
which cylinder is misfiring or all cylinders are misfiring.
