Default Car is stumbling in low RPM range when Cold...

I noticed this morning when I took the car out that in low RPM's when the car is cold it seems to be stumbling in the low(1,500-2,200 RPM's range). Now once I got the car on the HWY even 6th gear at 1,500 didn't have a problem (car was at operating temp.) I drove into Toronto and hit the city streets for 10 min and didn't notice it again. I didn't throw any codes but didn't have any logging hooked up(don't own anything YET). I have 35,000km's on the plugs and I think I'm going to change them this weekend but I'm not sure if that's the issue.... On my '95 when I had a stumbling it was more constant and happened even when the car was warm and the RPM range wasn't limited to just down low like this. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Changes the plugs and the fuel filter. NGK TR-55's gapped at .055. I swap plugs every 12k miles. No way to give anything definate without some log info.
