RE: Cold Starts
No one's said IAC? I know that's pretty much the catch-all when it comes to idle problems, but...
I have the IAC restrictor on mine, when it's extremely cold (20 or lower), it nearly stalls, but then catches itself. I don't think the IAC is opening fast enough... and this is on a car with ~40k miles. If you have more, it's likely the thing is just worn out/lagging due to the cold.

I can clean the IAC with what.
