Way back in November I posted an info request regarding
a problem I have been having with my l985 Tercel. I have
found that if I depress the gas pedal (when the car is
cold, i.e. left outside over night) the car will start
rough idling - it will start but after 10-15 seconds will
start to shake. The shaking lasts 1-3 minutes. At the end
of this period the idle speed shoots up. I brought the
car in (again) and this time they found the idle was not
properly set and the spark plugs were fouled. They set the
idle speed and replaced the spark plugs, but... it still
goes through its routine after a cold night.  

Anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong? (Thanks to
the people who responded last time.)
