This sounds like a fuel sending unit...when it gets warm it enables the gas flow to flow at its normal rate of flow.Check all your vacuum lines especially the fuel rail..inusre that you have no cracked or displaced vacuum lines
turned the TPS until it read 0 % on my logger but then i got a CEL and guess what... yep it was a TPS error. So i turned the TPS until the light went out which was about 4%. So far the car warmed up idled great and has not surged since. im going to take it for a drive after lunch to make sure but so far it seems to be fixed.

The above link with the same problem just copy and paste it to your browser,,I helped that user too and fixed that problem
Lets focus on the plugs for a moment. All you really need to do is remove 1 plug and check to see if it is fowled. This will show you what one looks like http://www.ehow.com/video_2326832_identify-bad-spark-plug.html and this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6A1keWQAeE is part of my training program at work for my new master techs to view and tested on before they are certified Also, if your car is shaking, your look at BAD TIMING which needs to be set by an auto shop so the vehicle stops shaking. The most cost efficient way to do this is to pay for the TIMING first see if that fixes the problem, then if not you change the spark plugs yourself as you never know what the auto shop will put inside your heads!!! Estimated fees if you want a shop to change your plugs in SC is about $200 for an 8 cylinder and fee for the timing is about $75.
