Default 1996 Monte Carlo, dies on me than its cold outside...

I got 1996 Monte, ive done alot of stuff to it just to get run again...
Right now i got 140k and some change on engine, bought it 6 months ago, got about 1-1.5k miles on tranny, new cat, full tune up 2 months ago, new radiator, oil changes up to date... some more things been fixed...
The problem is, its keep dies on me when its 10 above or colder as soon as its warmer runs perfect. I was thinking about air intake leak but its hard to find somebody who knows everything about 3.4 V6 1996 monte...
If anybody got any ideas i would realy appreciate it! Thank you!

Could it be fuel problems? Mabye an injector is clogged and its running to lean for those temps.

is it throwing any codes? check engine or service enigne soon lights? if it is bring it to advanced or another auto parts store and have them read the codes ( most places do it for free). it could be something to do with the emissions controls, if you have a bad upstream 02 sensor that could cause the car to lean out the fuel mix and, like brock said, the car would stall out.
