I had the same symptoms with my '04. It turned out to be the fuel pump. When gas tank was full, it wouldn't stall, only when fuel got low. Also started hard. Took about 3 time turning over to start. Replacing fuel pump is super easy, takes about 30 minutes for someone familiar with car repairs. Remove rear seat, turn 3 tabs on cover with screwdriver or 10 mm wrench. Unplug wires to pump and set cover aside. Pinch fuel line clip and remove fuel line. Remove 6 bolts (8 mm) and retaining ring comes off. Pump can now be removed. Installation is reverse of removal. Pump is spring loaded a little.

i would think the breather pipe on the front is getting blocked with the snow, and this will block of air getting into the engine you would need to make an extender and turn it round in the winter so that it get air coming in from the radiator side and not the front as you drive. or you could cut the old one in half and put a nother pipe the same size as the inner diameter of the pipe and in somer put it in normal position and in winter turn it around so it dont get the air from coming in from the font get from the back or ground side. this should stop snow building up in the breather.

Probably the heat shields.

By the sounds of it that could be the solenoid that operates the overdrive that has malfunctioned or there's a bad earth or a broken fuse - its electrical though that's for sure -- you may need to see a mechanic for that one unless your good at diy :) Hope you get it going :)

here is a trick that I use. take a high wattage 12 v lamp(headlap both filaments)= 8a (( load now link it onto a blown fuse(lamp is now in series . now with ignition on lamp will glow full(dead short) pull off,dissconnect stuff that is connected to that circuit when lamp dims you have the culprit. better still first find what is all connected and re connect one at a time and when there is a short the lamp will go bright.stil discuss this with others. a word of caution do not use a lamp as a test lamp due to the electronics on most cars(as above is different use
