A couple questions....dumb winter 200 1986

Ok, I've got a few questions about dumb cold. First, I'm up in Ontario Canada and it's been really cold here the past few days (like -15 to -30 celcius) and so yesterday I go to start my '86 DL and it started, ran REALLY rough for a few seconds, then went back to normal and worked fine for the next while as I drove it in 10 minute intervals around town. This morning, it started, ran really rough for a few seconds, then died. Throttle did nothing. So I go to check on it tonight and search out the cause in the death cold, and it does the very poor run, puffs out some bad looking smoke out the exhaust, then goes back to normal idle and works fine. Is this just cold related? It's never done this before in the 2+ years I've had it. Would it be the AMM? Ok, my next question is that I have a dumb clunk in the driver's rear of the car. It just started a week or two ago and happens every time I go over any small bump. I changed every bushing back there, as well as shocks and springs this past summer, and it's been fine until now. Probably when it got warm over the weekend and then cold again something expanded. Anyways, I'm just wondering which bolts would be the most likely culprit, so I have to spend as little time as possible out in the death cold. thanks yet again to all of you folks....no matter how much I think I know about these cars, someone else always knows so much more...hehe
