My car has rough idle sometimes also, not sure why. It would dip a little low and the car would shake a bit. Didn't really think about it until now though

That's exactly what I have right now, it randomly dips under 750 rpms and shakes a little. It's a minor annoyance.

I hope to get the car pro-tuned in the future to smooth out the idle. The stock map does weird things.

there is a free recall that is an ECM flash for the MR's that improves cold starting performance, the dealer should know about it.

Yeah thanks for confirming my theory, I know these cars run rich so that's what causing it to pop in the mornings.

I know a recall notice has been sent to my home, but I have been out of town for weeks. Need to to check it out, I think there was even a ongoing thread about it.
