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. I. J.
