Default 99 XJ Sport - trouble starting in cold weather

This morning, my 99 XJ Sport 4.0 didn't want to start. Temps are in the single digits here in NY.

When attempting to start it, there was spark, and the engine cranked, but it would immediately stall out. I tried a few times, let it sit for 15 min, and finally got it going by holding the gas pedal down just a bit while cranking.

I let it idle for a while, and everything was fine. Drove it down to Advance Auto, no problems on the way, they load tested the battery, alternator, and starter and everything tested out good.

It was recently tuned up. I'm going to try to clean the IAC this afternoon. Any other things I should look at?

Thanks!
