Bad injector leaking raw fuel into the cylinder causing the miss, hard start noise and all.

I was speaking generally. I assumed you had a 4 cylinder but a 6 cylinder has a spider.

Start locks up from hydrostatic lock from liquid in the cylinder and yes it could cause the noise. Do a fuel pressure test as a start.
Please be sure to give us all the info in the future so we dont have to guess
