car starting rough

Whats up?

When i first start my car in the mornings, or even after it has been off for more than 4 hrs, it is rough and vibrates for about 5-10 seconds. Is this normal? My Accord never has this problem even if it was 30 degrees outside. Actually, this occurs in the warm weather as well.

i had the same problem last year. My Acura dealer's mechanic gave me an article that said some Honda/Acuras have trouble starting when winter rolls around. Gas compainies put an additive in the gas in the winter that causes trouble when the car tries to start after being off for a couple of hours. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the car itself.
I'll try to look for the article and try to post later.
