1991 Toyota MR2, starts fine, drives fine, but when it isn't in gear or when the clutch is in, it wants to die, and does unless I have my foot on the accelerator and hold a small idle. I have never had the car do anything like this until we got some really cold weather. It kind of feels like the e-brake is frozen in place which maybe causing the problem? Thoughts?

Check for vacuum leaks. Have the idle air control valve checked. If they are both good and the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes and also check the fuel pump pressure.
