you may need a new coolant temp sensor/sending unit, they help the engine adjust a richer mixture to get the engine to warm up better.

Did you ever get your problem fixed? Our 02 Yukon is experiencing the same problem. Our mechanic wants to replace the intake which is made of plastic. Warm weather idles great... Cold weather idles very rough.
