Default rough idle in AM, in 2001 PT

for couple of minutes my car feels like it is running in 3 cylinders, but once warms up quickly smooth out.

It has 88K miles on it, and recently I noticed if I don't drive it for a few days it is likely to do this when I first turn it on.

Is this likely spark plug wire?

anyone with similar problem?

When were wires and plugs last done? I'd start there. Gap plugs at 0.040, and don't buy the stock wires - they are crap.
