cold start problem

97 4.6 that needs foot on accelerator to start when it is real cold outside.Once it starts everything is fine.Do you think it is the IAT sensor or the IAC valve, or am I way off?/ Thanks in advance....Tonebone

Its probably the IAC Valve....these trucks are notorious for that. Some people have luck just cleaning them, but I would go ahead and just replace it. They are not that expensive. Hope this helps
