18 degree cold weather
Ok first off i have a 2005 53K miles
just made a trip up north from texas roughly 1200 miles.. car ran solid the entire way...
it became a ice cube...
i finally got to the house and parked it for a couple of hours (2 hrs) or so in 15 degree weather and when i was gnna move it i turned it on.. it started right away but it threw out a ton of smoke! more than normal.. and it smelled like something was burning.. and a loud knocking noise coming from the engine with serious vibration.. i let it warm up and it would not rev past 7K rpm and had severe power loss..
I drove it for a bit and it kept back firing ALOT! and after a few driving cycles it ran a little better but it was vibrating and it seemed to idle fine with a couple of drops of the rpm but didnt stall..
Im pondering what this could be.....
any help ofoany information is appreciated..

i had the Mazsport coild but i put back the stock coils.. they have rouchly 50 K miles on them.. I assumed they were the cause but i was unsure..
the car isnt used to the cold weather it has never been driven under 30 degree weather

Damn it why did I have to read this! Im about to attempt a ride from TX to Jersey(similar distance) and im a bit nervous cause, in part, I dont trust this car very much!
Your post is damn near a carbon copy of my deal lol
Good to know the filters will freeze, I'll look out for that.
Good luck and hope everything works out without to much trouble.

The smoke is WHITE and it smells like something is burnt..
once its fully warmed up its fine.. i just let it sit for a little longer and i waited and it turned on just fine and it drove fine as well... i went to autozone and got some air filter cleaner.. but its soooo damn cold its like 16 degree right now.. and snow is everywhere..
