running the engine cold is not a good idea, get a t stat in there. There are reasons for running at operating temperature.

how are you running it cold all the time??

get a thermostat and make sure your fan switch works.
turn the car on let it sit and warm up and check if the code goes away.

Adjust your IACV for the idling problem.
