Next time it is cold, try starting the vehicle with your foot on the gas pedal pushing it down about an inch or so. If this allows the vehicle to start normally, you need to have the Idle Air Control valve replaced. If this does not help in the starting concern, have the fuel pressure checked first.

A Hane's handbook on your motor vehicle @ $20 will clarify the thank you to objective your chilly initiate.

IAC valve may be sticking, this happens all the time, also be sure the air filter is good, replace it every 15,000 miles as well as the fuel filter
