How cold was it this morning? Also, did the Check Engine Light come on?

One thing to keep in mind is that the camshafts are "controlled" by oil pressure and as I understand it the orifices feeding the hydraulic actuators are not very large. If the oil was especially viscous due to cold weather, the camshafts will not advance properly. The PCM detects this, will set a code or codes, and then go into sort of a limp mode.

That's the best I can come up with at this moment. I'll check Oasis when I have a moment and see what that says. Please provide the DTC numbers, if you remember them...
