Ok.. this morning the temp was 28°. While not super cold by most standards its the coldest morning I think since I bought my 300CD.

Typically it accelerates wonderfully from a dead stop. Today, after driving for a while (engine warmed up). I was accelerating from a dead stop like normal. Than the car lurched and a large black cloud of smoke belched out the back and I had no power at all. Once I let off the accelerator pedal and slowly applied it, I had power again.

Anythoughts on what could have caused that? Perhaps its just that the fuel is very cold?
