I rechecked the fuel system by turning the ignition to the on position so the pump will give pressure the fuel rail to see if I purged it fuel will squirt out. I did this 4 times and nothing at all!

Since its not the spark plugs, I suggest checking the spark plug wires. But it honestly still sounds like a bad Coil Pack. Take the pack off and I believe a place like AutoZone or Murrays can test them. Im kind of sure you can run a mutlimeter on it to test it also.

Need to examine the entire ignition system. Maybe check fuses and relays if applicable.

There are no spark plug wires.

duh, IM a ******* tool. I just got off of work and Im just looking to take my mind off of bills.

Maybe the terminals inside the pack are not making a good connection with the plugs.....Cause as far as I know, which isnt much, coil packs slam down on top of the plug....? xD

I rechecked the fuses and found one that I missed, injector fuse. Replaced it but the car still runs like crap. It sounds like a helicopter. I have been working on it all weekend with some help from halfcent also, but no fix. Tomorrow I will be taking to a shop to get checked out. This sound like a problem for the pros.

Freezing point for gasoline is around -40 °C to -60 °C, it wasnt that cold outside.
Just for future reference

0 deg C is 32 deg F

But the car is in the shop so lets see what happens. I will post later of the the results.

I ended up being the coil pack, WTF! Just can't believe it, I swapped it to another car. Oh well it is fixed!
