I started parking my car in the garage and not driving anywhere from 1-3 days.

I've noticed when starting it stumbles and feels like a very slight misfire for about 5-10 seconds then clears up and drives fine.

Never noticed it when parking outside even for same duration of not being driven.

The garage does feel slightly cooler than outside temps, I wonder if it's condensation building in the cylinders or something?

More likely condensation on ignition components. Might be time for new wires or cap or rotor. I would inspect the parts and reassemble with dielectric grease.

Wires and plugs were replaced last year. Cap and rotor about three years ago

Did you use good quality parts or cheap autostore stuff?

Used ngk plugs and wires. Cap and rotor are from autozone duralast brand that have a 5 year warranty. I've used them before
