1998 ford explorer dies how to fix

I have a 1998 ford explorer, I have problems with it in the winter, when its real cold outside it starts but dies right away, I have to press on the gas for a while when I start it so it wont shut off, when its finally running on its own, I can shut it off and start it with no problems, I dont have this problem in summer,

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds your IAC valve is dirty/clogged and needs to be cleaned. i had the same problem on my brothers 2001 explorer. didnt throw a check engine code either.

just disconnect the battery, remove the IAC, clean with intake/brake cleaner. reinstall IAC and batt terminals and start engine
