If you are getting a high idle to an almost non-existant idle then back to normal, it sounds like an IAC motor problem. It's held on by 2 bolts and an electrical connector. Take it off and clean it then use a little WD40 or similar on the center valve area. You'll see where the two holes are. That gives the aluminum a bit of lube so it doesn't bind. They get worse in colder weather and goes away mostly when it warms up. The metal tends to warp from all the heat/cold cycles the engine has over its life. Don't forget to check for vacuum leaks also.

I'm betting on the AIC.

I have a similar problem. When it gets really cold outside, my truck doesn't like to start. I have a 97 4.6L. When I go to start it, it starts right up but then immediately throttles down and dies. I have to start it and give it a little gas to keep the rpms up the. It runs just fine. Could this be the iac you were talking about?

Do you have a picture of this component?

After servicing this stuff, you should perform a re-learn. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and then re-connect. Start the engine and let it run. Move steering wheel a bit, press brake, cycle the OD switch and it should re-learn. Engine should be fully warmed up before shutting it off.
