I woke up this morning at 4 AM to go to work. So I go outside and its snowing (Storm that hit us in MA) So I got to start the car cranks wont start. Do it again and boom it works. However the engine sounds like shit and the car was shakin like a bastard. I try driving and the thing was struggling to get to 40MPH. Did it the whole way for my 20 minute drive to Taunton, MA. Does anyone know what it could be. Sounded like the thing was running on 2 Cylinders / Clogged Exhaust. Any help is really needed.

SOmething similar happened to me. If it doens't seem like it wants to shift and won't go faster than like 40 mph. WHat the problem was with mine was the catalytic converter or exhuast was plugged. Not sure if this is much help or not. But i had a similar problem.

Yeah dude, I would check the exhaust, sounds like a clogged cat to me.

what was the temp outside ? could have been moisture that iced up and plugged your fuel filter?plugged cat is prob more likely but i thought i'd just throw that at ya too much info is usually better than too little

does it go away when its warmed up now?

sounds like fuel/spark related

if all of a sudden happened overnight then id defenty go with water in the lines or something..
cause I dont think a cat/muffler could clog that quick and the amount of power loss that quick

See if you can park it in a heated garage overnight. If it runs good again, I would say that it's something to do with spark or fuel.

I replaced the plugs just 5 mins ago checked the fuel filter its ok, checked the fuel injectors clean. I looked under the car and the exhaust is shaking like a fuck. It gives a strong smell. I think its the cat.
