Popping sound on start
I have a 2005 RL. On occasion, when first starting the car I seem to hear a slight "POP" similar to a backfire. Only on occasion (about once a month) and only on the first start of the day. Any one else heard this sound?
TIA

I have not experienced this with my RL. However, I did occaisionally experience it with my TL. It was part of the ULEV quelching excessive emmisions, which are worse on start up.
I would assume anything else, such as misfire, vacuum leak or other would report a trouble code.
