I would check the spark plugs to see if they are ok. I would then check to see that your dizzy is providing a good amount of spark using the screw driver method (ask me if you don't know what I'm talking about). Um...let's see...check to see if you are losing any coolant, but yet there is no leak. If this is the case coolant is leaking into your cylinders over night and jacking up the air/fuel mixture in the cylinders when you start the car up hence the shaking at start up. Could be anything. Provide more details and I will provide more insight. Are you shooting any codes? Has your car overheated recently?

Well expletive. That's not something you want to do yourself if you are 'new' to this type of stuff..
You have to have special tools and what not to do it.. It's not that easy for a beginner, and it's not something you want to mess up because you can risk blowing up your engine.
