whenever i start my car,early morning, when warming up the car, the car vibrates and trembles for a while,1 min or so, then stops and all ok

should i be worried? a friend of mine told me, my car started out like that, and i ended up spending 5k$ on it

any comments?

Mine sometimes hiccups and shakes a little upon cold start. And then it's ok, like yours. I have read about this a lot on here. I wouldn't worry about it.

Is it cold outside? or your car is catching cold!

Have had this if I have inadvertantly depressed the accelerator pedal whilst starting from cold ... nothing to worry about.

Do some driving in DS the night before and do some full throttle runs , sometimes the injector or plugs get dirty, do that and you will be good to go ,

make sure you fill her up before you do that, if your car is always in the empty side of the tank then thats also a reason in some countries....specially in Bangladesh
