The car starts but initially backfires after starting. When a car backfires shortly after starting and usually occurs on the wet condition, then this is a sign of the problem of moisture inside the distributor cap. Moisture is the results of condensation from the air humidity, and interferes with the ignition system thereby causing the engine backfires shortly after starting.
However, if the car problem occurs even when the condition is not wet then this could be a problem of fuel injection system or one of the electronic sensors is faulty.
