get a heat gun, put your car up on some big jackstands, and heat the whole
fuel line until you're sure that it's all thawed out. =)
No. just kidding. Don't do that, you'll explode yourself, and more
importantly, the car.
in other words, i have no idea, and i like using commas today.
good luck..

well yesterday on my 91 legacy turbo i was trouble shooting a vaccuum
problem. found it to be my turboXS boost controller... turned it down to
stock levels, and all was fine. then 3 hours later at night i go to get into
my car and start it again, it started and IMMEDIATELY stopped. tried it 3-4
more times and the same result. this morning, i tried it and it just cranks
without starting. last night it started for about 1 second, then died. i
tried keeping foot on the gas, diddnt do a thing... what i am thinking is
doing this, please help me out here peeps, is when it dropped below freezing
last night quite fast it froze some water in the fuel lines, thus not letting
the fuel through, or im out of gas (shows about 1/8th tank.). i have a
haynes manual here and it offers some ideas like:
1 loose or faulty electrical connections at coil or alternator
2 insufficient fuel reaching the injectors *
3 vaccuum leak between the intake and plenum
4 idle speed incorrect
those are all found under engine starts but stops immediately
now, under engine rotates but wont start it lists the same PLUS:
1 fuel empty (1/8th tank)
2 battery discharged (cranks very lively, no issues)
3 battery connections loose, (um no)
4 leaky injectors (no gas smell)
5 broken timing belt (nope)
6 ignition componanats wet (from what?)
7 incorrectly gapped plugs (they are new iridiums)
8 broken loose wires in starting circuit (? not sure)
9 broken or loose wires at coil or faulty coil
so theres what we got... when you combine the two problems, sounds more like
a fuel issue, any ideas folks?
