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, can anybody help me?

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

Don't know where my answer went, but dmac0923 has the correct answer. Guess the old mind forgot to post or clicked on the wrong button.
