Agreed. I'd suspect CLT first. They tend to go haywire and tell the ECU your engine is running at -150* or something, so it's always trying to compensate for the cold. In the summer, when the hot air is less oxegen-rich (density), this can cause performance/idle issues. In the winter, the air is more oxygen-rich, so the AFR is a bit closer to where it should be.
CLT runs about $25 at Autozone. A quick search will give you more info on this subject. :thumbsup
