starting issues

ok so i was on my way to school when it snowed... about 5 mph all the way there for a mile. i was cruising in 1st gear, when my truck all of the sudden died! starting my truck was REALLY hard, i had to go full throttle and get some cold air and it would start then. also when i shut my truck off and try to start it in less than 2 hours or when the truck is hot, its impossible to start. i have to bump the timing down to about 4* to get it to start.

is it the ignition box? im curious before buying any parts that don't need replacing
