Accelerator "jiggle?"

Hey all,

Did a search, but couldn't exactly think of a way to describe this correctly.

Anyway, when I first drive away after my car's been parked/garaged for a while (1-2 hours or more), my accelerator pedal seems to "shake/jiggle." It's very quick and it only happens once, and only after it's been parked for a while. If i park for 5 minutes, 30 min, whatever, then drive away, the shake/jiggle doesn't happen.

Anyone know what this might be?

Thanks in advance

-S

Not entirely sure it matters, but 6MT or 5AT? ~ Steven

thanks for the feedback. i've heard that it might be an abs self-test, but since it's not everyone who has the problem, i'm a little confused.

and it's a 5AT

mine does the same thing when the temp meter is down at cold. it really annoys me cuz the car feels like its shaking but im the only one who feels it, i think its through the pedal and the steering wheel. i dunno tho once i get going and the car warms up it goes away
