Car Stalls Soon After Start on Cold Mornings

2002 9-3 SE w/83k. Purchased the car mid-December, no problems since, except... used Techron Concentrate in early January. Immediately after using it, the car would stall seconds after I started it in the mornings, and sometimes later on in the day. I'd have to re-start and give it a little gas to prevent it from stalling out again. At first I thought it had something to do with the cold weather snap (highs in the teens), and then maybe the cold + Techron, but it is still occuring every morning. Some mornings aren't too cold, like in the 20s--the car's battery is only a year old.
The car has a three month warranty on it, but the place that I purchased it from (a very reputable used import car dealer) is an hour away. I figure I'll take the car to my saab dealer around here to see if they'll diagnose the problem (I've got a burned out headlight too, so need to fix that).
I've read through some posts, and right now options seem to be: clean throttle body, IAC valve, replace spark plugs.
Any other input for the mechanically uninclined? I like to have an idea of my problem before I start describing it to a mechanic... Thanks!
