What causes shaking at start-up of 1994 Ford Taurus Wagon goes away after I accelerate?

It's probably a mis-fire on one or more cylinders. Run a compression check on the engine, examine the sparkplugs as you do that and see if there is excessive build-up or damage and watch for oil fouling. If it's just simple build-up, and there isn't any oil fouling, just replace the plugs and wires. If it's oil fouling, you'll probably need some engine work.

Carbon Fouling of Spark PlugsUsually spark plug carbon fouling is caused by either the fuel mixture [ratio of fuel to air] is too rich [too much fuel], OR it could be that crankcase oil is getting into the combustion chambers [cylinders].Crankcase oil fouling is most often caused by either worn or broken "oil" rings on the piston, or on overhead valve engines, worn out valve-stem guides.
