Default MISFIRE? BAD FUEL? WATER IN THE INTAKE?

well, this morning , 8:30am, starting the car on the treck to school , i had a problem. I started it up, and it idles at about 1100rpm, weird? yes. and on top of that it was shaking like i was driving 100mph through hazzard county . so i shut it off. started it again. and you fellow 5spd owners know how you have to put the clutch in to start, well i let it out and the car stalls, and it was not in gear. so i started it a third time. and it idles normalish, but rough. i shut down, start again, and everything is hunky dory fine again. i opened the hood and obeserved its running for a couple minutes. everything seemed fine after that. so what happened? was there water in the intake? bad fuel ( shouldnt be at $1.23 a litre )? or was it a computer code causing a misfire? anyone else run into this? Heres my vital stats
