as above really but ill say it again with more detail
I started the car today it was about -7 overnight and about 1 at the time

and when i first started the car it stalled,
then i tried again, i had to hold revs or it would stall
then i drove about 100 yards
then it misfired
then it stalled
then i started it again. had huge misfire for 15 seconds
then it was fine

it has never done this before

the cold would have something to do with it.

what can i do to fix this problem?

any help would be great :)

Sounds like coilpack is failing mate.

I had exactly the same problem so changed the coil pack no joy,so changed the map sensor & it runs as sweet as a nut.
