Cold idle problem?

To begin with i bought an f-350 1996 350 cclb it was driven 300,000 some miles from Florida 2019 basicly an ****box. Fast forward to now i have repaired
injectors
injector cups
idm
uvch
engine wire harness
glowplugs
bosch 044 fuel pump (fuel pump and bowl delete)
cps
rabs (hydraulic unit)
cleaned both thanks and replaced all lines
torque converter (very bad rattle)

now to my current problem under 5 celcius cold starts it feels like missfire but no white smoke or anything else to point at dead cylinder or unburnt just cuts it like trying to slow down the idle. Is this normal and i am just trying to find solution to non existing problem

Kyllähän ne IAT ja EOT anturit vaikuttaa ennakoihin.
Ootko koittanu sen perus ICP anturin liitin irti,vaikuttaako mitenkään?
Jos lämpösenä rokkaa hyvin niin ei muuta kun kovaa ajoa..?

icp irti ei vaikutusta
neutral switchin tila forscanissa vaihtelee yksinää driven ja neutralin välillä ihan että ei tee mitään .
EOT on normaaleissa luvuissa mut IOT näyttää koko ajan -20
