Normally this will happen when the A/C is on. Today it was hot in toronto, were you using the A/C at all?
Startup idling problem
I have this bad shaking when I start the car up. The revs go up as high as 1100 rpm and after about 5 seconds the car will sputter like the engine is going to die but then it goes back to normal idle. (800 rpms.)
Anyone have any ideas whats causing this? I already replaced my spark plugs and just sprayed the throttle body with a cleaner. Can it be my MAF? Secondary air pump?

No Aircon. This happens almost always when I start up the car when the engine has gotten cold. Can this be coilpacks?
What year is your car...? How many miles?
Try cleaning your T Body. Usually works like a charm...

I had the same problem on my 2002 1.8t. We took it to the dealer and there was a technical service bulletin on the 2002 ECU software. They upgraded the software under warranty and it has been great ever since.
Good luck to you..
