Holy Mother of God! I can NOT drive my car in this crap.

I need to be at work at 6 AM on Sunday. Lindsay and the kids are going out to brunch with the in-laws, so she needs the truck. I figure I will go knock the snow off the car and get it ready so I don't have to do it in the morning.

Here is the problem and question:

I get it cleaned up, go to fire it up... yea, right. no workie :confused: It started for like a second, then died. I try to start it like 7 more times before it finally startes to idle. Even though it is running, it feels like 2 or 3 chambers are not firing when I pedal it. After about 3 minutes it finally levels off and revs ok.

Now, it is below freezing, but no where near as cold as it normally gets in the winter. Is this going to be a regular problem since the car is so heavily cammed?

I went for a ride in the snow and ice... :dr1: lol what a blast that was. I took my performance tires off and put the stockers back on. I can barely go over 15 miles an hour. Even the slightest pedal and the damn thing is sideways. Man is that fun! I don't think I am driving it to work though. At 15 mph, it will take me 2.5 hous to get there.
