On a very cold day I was forcing the car to run and after car died it was hard to start then car ran poorly. Drove home. Looked under hood engine was missing and knocking but not constantly. Shut car off to not further damage anything. Could it be timing belt

I'm glad you got it fixed. I had a feeling but I wanted to make sure of a few other things before saying that.
