The car will backfire and stall right after you start driving until it gets warmed up and then it goes away. Has anyone had this problem?

Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.
