Default Hard Start in the Morning Problem

Almost every morning, when I turn the key in the ignition, the car stutters and shakes. Some mornings, like this one, it won't start on the first try. And, the even after its started and before I start to move the car, the tachometer wobbles up and down.

But, any other time during the day, it starts up just fine. Purring.

I am going to make an apt. with the dealer as soon as I get a heads up from Audi that the CPO has transferred in my name. I just bought this car a month ago; it's an '01 with 43K miles on it. Any ideas what such a problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

Coolant temperature sensor is usually the problem. $6 part and is easy to change.
