Many possible reasons. Perhaps a cracked distributor cap, or vacuum leak at intake.

Ya, I had identical issues from a cracked cap and and a bad plug wire (both seperate instances), but I did notice it only happened on humid days, especially when raining.

Ya, would go away when warmed up as well

Mine got to the point where it would have a hard time starting (cracked cap). Plug wire made it really severe shaking and i could actually see sparks from one of the terminals on the plug wires at the cap.
