What would cause a loud popping noise just before the car starts?

Is it a boom? If so, then the car is getting too much gas when you start it. Check the fuel injector(s) and the carburator.

Answer

If this noise is like a loud ticking at a fast pace, it would be your starter going bad. If the noise is a loud boom/pop sound from the rear of the car, it would possibly be that the exhaust is backfiring..... not sure how to fix that aspect to fix the issue.
