2005 TSX cold rough idle :(

Hi all Acurazine forum buddies!

I have had this problem for quite some time. The car will start up fine in the morning (sometimes it will crank longer and struggle to start). After startup, of course, the RPM goes up to 1200 range. In Canada, winter is brutal. I guess this is normal because it needs to warm up. However, when it is in gear (R or D), especially when I press the brake pedal, you can feel that it idles rough. You can literally feel the car shaking. You can feel the vibration through the drive wheel. But all this will go away after about 5 mins of driving and when the engine warms up.

My question is should I be concerned? Is this normal? I just bought the car half a year ago and it passed the 200 point inspection with all greens. I am a rookie when it comes to car. Any input will be greatly appreiciated. How come the rough idle goes away if this is an issue? Please help and thank you!

Hello

Several questions:

1) How miles does the car have?

2) What is the outside temperature when car shakes within the first 5 minutes?

It has about 77,000kms and the temperature outside is below 0'C.
Just changed the spark plugs with little improvement to the shaking. But it's still there. I am almost at a point that I think this is "normal".
