R50 Engine shakes

Guys,
I noticed recently when I start my 2004 R50 engine, it shakes for a few seconds then stops. Then it sounds to be normal when I start driving. I'm wondering what this could be. Anyone out there knows anything about it I appreciate it very much. Thanks.

Check your plug wires and coil pack for corrosion on the coil pack posts. It's a common problem on the early models and can cause missing. You might be due for new plugs, too, depending on your mileage. Way Motor Works sells a good replacement coil pack and wires.

I have 77700 miles on the car. Does it mean I need to replace the spark plugs, wires and coil ? Thanks so much !!

Notice any shaking on accelleration ? Was thinking motor mounts maybe.
