My 1985 Tercel does the same thing, except that the shaking lasts only a few seconds. It acts as if half the cylinders are not firing. Lane here at work suggests that the oil may not be circulating well at first, so the engine is idling extremely slowly (500-800 RPM), so you will feel every thrust, especially in a 4-cylinder engine. Also it could be due to the gasoline not vapourising properly when extremely cold, so some cylinders will miss until the gas is warm. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby ( ...!ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!dave)
