    So I've had a rough cold start idle since I bought my car back in January 2014. The car had 88,000 miles on it. It now has 96000 miles. I figure I inquire about this before there is any serious issue. My car has no check engine light, EML etc. When I start it up in the morning, it has a rumble...
