alright wonderful, so i have a misfire now due to the cold, is there a common cause for this? I know i need to get the codes but will they show up even if the engine isn't currently misfiring?

That's a problem. Have it looked at by someone qualified to diagnose it properly.

Problem got worse, stalled when ever i came to a stop. Took it into a dealer to get looked at Intake gasket went, oil was mixing and i'm guessing thats why the yellow looking residue was getting worse and worse. blah, thought i'd share...
