2003 Camry SE engine shaking on cold start

[kruger]

Hi, My 2003 camry on cold start jumps to 1,500rpm then at times it vibrates and dies and then starts on the second try without issues. Other times it vibrates and then stabilizes. The check light does not come on. Please advise?.

Check the butterfly in the throttle, make sure it's not gummed up, and if you could, give us a little background on the car.mileage and such. tends to knock out some possibilities if we know that

Thanks. The mileage on the car is 64,000 miles. I change the oil and oil filter every 4,000 miles, and I've changed the front and back brake pads nothing else .I dont know a lot about cars, pls can you show me with a picture where the butterfly in the throttle is?.
Thanks a million.
