I just added some seafoam i tihnk 1/3 of hte can into the crankcase yesterday. Everything was fine up until just now when I tried to start it when it's a like 35-40 degrees outside and basically there would be the normal cranking sound but then after the cylinders ignite, the car would shake vigorously and then die. Also, there is a ticking noise that got louder since I got it and it increases in frequency with the rpm. I used to think it's lifter tick but not anymore. The cel came on, but I don't have anything to pull it off with. Car finally started after cranking it alot after moving it off the incline onto a flatter surface. Got back home and now the car would not start on level surface either. I think I have to call a tow truck....

yeah it was the camshaft sensor. p3040. Cleared it and it didn't come back on. I'm hoping that the cold just screwed the sensor up. WTF
