Explosion-like sounds while starting the car. What to do? (Nissan Tsuru) Sign In

Hello. For a period of time I haven't used my car in a while (more than a year). I know that this can be bad for its engine, and so recently I began starting it every weekend for a few minutes (it's unused otherwise), but the problem is that when starting, an explosion-like sound is heard. It's not very strong, and the engine starts usually after the second attempt, but I'm afraid that my engine can be damaged by this. The car is a Nissan Tsuru (From what I see in Internet, it's sold in other parts of the world as “Sentra”). What's the cause of this sound and what must I do? I should take it to the mechanic, but I want to have an idea of what the problem may be in advance to avoid being scammed and to know more about my car. If anybody can give an explanation of a possible cause please do. I'm interested in a technical explanation so please don't avoid technical terms. Thanks you very much in advance!.

It sounds like it's backfiring for some reason, usually due to an ignition reference signal problem.

Can you record the noise and upload it to a video hosting site? Then paste the link in here? Maybe hearing this noise can give better advice.
