But now when it is very cold the car starts on lower RPM around 950 RPM. I have to leave it running like that for few sec, turn the engine off then turn it on again may be I have to do that twice to get the car pick up the high RPM to worm up. I know it might be a very simple issue and I should not worry about it but I am just wondering if there is any explanation.

The master technican at Crosby's (I used to go there - Kevin's knowledge is drawdropping) had let me know.
