Rough Idle when first start car ?

Hi Guys

I have looked at posts for rough idle and they are usualy relating to sensors , exhaust , mounts, MAF etc as possible issues.

My problem is that when I first start the car say in the morning, and I am sitting at the lights with my the car in drive waiting to go, the car feels that it is idelling roughly with a shuddering vibration feeling. When the cars warmed up after 15mins the vibration seems to go and is fine when I stop.?

For this reason I dont think its the engine mounts if it gets better after 15mins, so what would you think is the first thing to check. The car drives and reacts fine throughout so I dont think its the MAF but could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

I think we have the same kind of CLK.

Have you checked if your "auto-choke" is working? The auto choke regulates air/fuel mixture during engine startups. Try searching for auto choke or automatic choke on this forum.
