Default Cold weather start issues

Occaisionally, when the weather is very cold (20F or less) my 99 classic (I6) will not idle at all. It will continue to run if i keep the RPMS up to 2000 or more, but if I take my foot off the gas it dies. If I shift into drive with the RPMS up, (one foot on the brake), I can drive it til it warms up then it will idle & all is ok. It seems that there may be some linkage frozen shut or some other thing. Anyone see this before?

Thanks
