Default A3 1.6 SE 1999 cuts out only when cold

I've only just recently noticed this but my car is cutting out for the first few minutes. It starts fine and I pull away fine but when I get to the end of the street and change down the gears it just cuts out. I start up and it is always fine after one or or two cut outs. Once warm no more problems. If I rev when its cold it and then take my foot off the accelerator the revs drop right down to about 400 which is probably not helping. Note the outside temp is around 0 degrees celcius 32 F to 5 degrees 41F. Any help would be appreciated

IAT ( idle air control sensor ) probably needs a clean out
