Stumbling Issues...

Here's the story:
Drove the car home in a huge snow storm last Monday (snow & FD don't mix). I had to keep the car very low in the RPM range for the entire trip 1200-2000 RPMs. Car began stumbling really bad like it was running out of gas, had a 1/2 tank. Next day the car wouldn't start, assumed it was cause it was so cold outside. Tried again in warmer weather with no luck. Assumed the car was flooded, tried to push start nothing but a **** load of white smoke out of the exhaust. Disconnected the fule pump and cranked for approximately 2 minutes in 15 second intervals. Plugged the fuel pump back in and started up, has a hell of a time idling and a low RPM misfire, runs fine over 3K RPMs. Any ideas?

Will extrmemely fouled plugs cause this?

Thanks in advance,

Greg Doyle
