My 1999 Galant,with a 3.3 engine has a strange vibration from the engine on the pasenger side of the car, after starting in cold weather.The vibration seems to go away after the engine warms up.It has a number of mechanics baffled.I live in Wisconsin, during the warmer months the vibration isn’t noticeable. Any ideas or suggestions?

Just a wild guess! Have them check the engine mounts.
