Cold Start - Getting Rougher

Cold Start - Getting Rougher
My 04 TL automatic has been having a rougher and rougher start in the mornings.
Once the car is warmed up - the problem isn't there. And I know that the ULEV TL's have a rough time in the morning.
I guess the question is just should the start be getting rougher - specifically over the past few weeks, as the weather has gotten warmer.
Anything I can check for to see if there is something else at play.
Thanks in advance

it most likly needs a pcm update. also the front and rear mount run on vacuum. when they bust the idle get rough. also a good injector clean and pcv valve have been known to fix the problem.

how many miles are on the car? have you ever cleaned the injectors and fuel system?

I have the same problem with my 06'. It has 27K miles and I purchased it from an Acura dealer a few months ago as a certified car. I have run three bottles of injector cleaner through the system and I use the correct fuel. I don't know how it was treated by the previous owner though.
What is a pcm update?
Are you saying bad engine mounts could cause this? If so, why would it only happen on the first start of the day?
