winter time

it was so cold out the other day that my door wouldn't close unless it was locked. has this every happened to anybody before?

also, she wont idle in the cold weather after awhile, i stays up like any other fb, but after 5 minutes or so it bogs down and dies. what do u guys recomend? different type of oil would be my first guess.

My 85 would randomly die in the cold when I pushed in the clutch because of the recirculating air hose that runs from the air intake to the exhaust manifolds was not conected. Just an idea.
