It started today while I was working. I started my car and instantly pretty much it dies and I hear a pop from my exhaust and then the car dies. It happened twice today, it was kinda hit or miss. Anyone have any ideas??

IAC (Idle Air Control)

Do a search on it and you'll find your fix

I cleaned mine many of years ago and never had problems with it again, while some have to go out and buy another.
