Default 2000 Neon Shaking at start up

I have a 2000 Chrysler Neon which I guess is Dodge also but it runs perfect even at high speeds but when I start it the engine shakes rough for 1-2 seconds then it's fine? Any idea what would cause this?

Could be a fuel issue, a spark issue, etc. How many miles? When was the last tune up? Did this just start or always done it? The more information you can provide, the better we can help.

150k miles and I just purchased the vehicle all of the fluids are clean so it looks like the previous owner kept it up good.

Check the motor mounts.

Motor mounts are ok I'm thinking this is something gas related.

Next step then would be to verify fuel pressure.
