Problem starting in cold weather; rough idle!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I took my maxima to get looked at because it has trouble starting in the cold unless i give it a little gas, also it has a very rough idle when stopped in drive. I was told it needed a new idle control valve. Could anyone give me some insite on this issue?

I had a problem with my idle as well. The fix was simple with mine, the idle intake needed to be cleaned. If that intake gets clooged with any sort of build-up it will cause your car to sputter and sometimes stall. That maybe something to ask the mechanic. It's a cheap fix if that happens to be the problem. It worked for me. Hope that helps.
