It's pretty cold out, i think the temp is low 20's but around 0 with windchill.  This morning my car started...lope lope lope...sounds just like a OHV engine with a big cam in it!

It stalled out once, it drives fine but just didn't idle good, after 10 min of driving it went away...

think it was just the cold?

definitely was a bit cold, but check the IAC, it shouldnt be idling rough just because its cold. sounds like a bad sensor.

I know what the IAT is but what is the IAC?

Is it along the intake system?

Idle Air Control [you can slap yourself on the forehead now in case you meant that you forgot what it is called] Valve

As far as the location, i'm not sure.

IAC would make ALOT of sense then lol

I have never heard of IAC, just IAT's which are located along the air intake system.

I'll go do some searching to see where this IAC sensor is

It's on the throttle body. It's the larger of the two sensors attached to the throttle body.
