you should clean your idle air control valve, its near the throttlebody, actually you should clean/replace the IAC valve and clean your throttlebody, it gets pretty dirty. That should solve the cold idle issues. I'm pretty sure, can someone else confirm?

COuld be quite a few problems.

First start with plugs, wires, and vacuum hoses

i agree with iacv. the iacv is located behind the throttle body with i think about 3 hoses connected to it.
its held on by 2 bolts. if i remember either a 10 or 8 mm. forgot exactly.
fairly easy.

oops. I forgot about that.

yes it will affect your gas mileage.
it's a simple process
remove the intake and cean inside the throttle body.
you can use carb cleaner.
I'd still recommend cleaning your fuel system
