Default hmm, car runs at 4-600 rpm.. any ideas?

well its been sub zero to negative 10 with about 12 inches of snow on the ground here in chitown area for the last week. cars been fine. ran started fine, had one day where the turbo froze and it wouldent peddel, thus no rpm past 2 grand.

today, went to start my car after school, cranked, fired fine, and runs at 400 rpm, kicks to about 600 every now and then, a solid 400 rpm, giving it gas doesnt help, bogs it even worse, kills it most of the time. idk what it could be, the feul pump is priming so its not that, i checked the coil wires to see if it could be a bad connection, they're fine. im thinking bad gas, might have had some water and could have froze in a line? cars still in the school parking lot hoping that some feul sedatives will help.

anything would help, thanks guys

well, a bottle of heet, feul antifreeze and a bottle of octane booster, ran for 20 minutes at 400 rpm, started heating up got to 1000, another 10 and it would take throttle, another 10 and it could almost get 3k but seems like the turbo wouldent spool so i dident push it, i dont need to throw a fin or grenade it. got it to the garage hopefully some heat will do it a world of good.
