Hard Starting in Cold Weather

96 900S N/A
This past Saturday, with single digit temps, my 900S refused to start. When attempting to start, the car turned over a few times and stalls. Adding some gas didn't help much, the engine just takes longer to stall. I added a bottle of Techron, but it didn't help much at the time
On Sunday, when it was a little warmer, the car started after many attempts. However, it never went to fast idle. It stayed under 1K. Adding some gas causes it to stumble a bit before revs would climb. Ran the engine for a few minutes and pulled it into the garage.
This morning, still won't start... Think I'll try the TB / IAC valve cleaning procedure.
Does it sound like I'm on the right track? What else could it be? I've had one other instance about a year ago when it didn't want to start in cold weather, but it eventually started and I haven't had a problem until last weekend...
TIA,
Phil
