RPM drops when starting engine cold
being in Canada the climate gets cold during this time of year. my car is parked outside and when i start it in the moning the RPM drops like its gonna stall then will shoot back up to idle. mind you its not even in the negetives yet, so im scared when it gets that cold it will die. any clue why?

I have something similar on cold starts in cold weather, and this is AFTER I resolved my vacuum leak for the time being (oem plenum on for the moment). When it is very cold here in the midwest, when I start the car, the rpms will drop, then the car will die, UNLESS I hold the clutch in for a few seconds (this raises the rpm). After a few seconds I release the clutch pedal and the car idles fine when warming up. This only happens when it is very cold out (20f or less). When the engine is relatively warm (after driving), and starting it up again, I do not experience the idle drop.
op, try to hold in your clutch for a few moments, before releasing it on cold start and see what happens.
