Rough idle after starting

Lately my CD runs a little rough for the first 30 seconds or so after a cold start up. It still starts easily and once it runs a few seconds it smooths right out. So, I'm pretty sure one (or two) of my GPs has probably died. Not that big of a deal since I have some good spares lying around.

My question: what is the quickest, easiest way to pinpoint which one? Any suggestions on how to do it other then disconnecting the wire and checking their resistance one at a time? The weather around here right now doesn't encourage spending much time outside working on cars (cold rain), so I'd really like to minimize the time spent on diagnosis and repair of this relatively minor issue.
