I had a similar problem with my 81 Accord a couple of times this Winter,
always after sitting in the cold for a few hours.  The car started ok,
but had no power and would keep moving forward (slowly!) only in 1st or
2nd gear with almost full throttle.  After warmup of a few miles the
problem would completely disappear.  The problem seemed to be helped
after I added a can of Heet to the gas.  I think there was an ice restriction
to the gas flow after standing which eventually melted, but the problem
was so seldom I really couldn't tell if it was cured of the weather was
warmer.
