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.

thx for the replies..so will this prob get worse? it feels like its badly mis firing, bt once the car warms up it drives fine.

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.
