Bring it in to the dealer.
I don't think they will be able to do anythng about it though.
They'll probably say, "It's WNL."

I had the same problem before. Dealer told me its normal, but these days engine is running smoother and no rough idle after the lifters replaced...I dont know if it will help you.

or early syptoms of a fuel pump failure. rough idle is a classic symptom. If also accompanied by a long crank sequence, it's probably a fuel pump about to fail...
