O.k. got a bit of a problem
the jeep ran fine until friday evening, saturday morning would not start
I'm thinking the fuel line is frozen it want's to start, trying at least.
the engine turns but will not start, it fires but dies in less than a second.
does this sound like a frozen fuel line or like something else to you out there
I'm currently charging the battery, drained the damned thing trying to start her.
already put gas line antifreeze in the tank, but still no luck

we'll managed to get her to start by having the pedal to the floor...what a smell...lol
but it idles pretty rough. got her filled up to prevent the freezies from coming back
gonna start her tomorrow mornin to see if she's good or is she needs an operation

doubtful that the fuel line is frozen. gasoline doesnt freeze until like 90 below or something like that. more than likely fuel fouled. plugs get fuel soaked because fuel is spraying but rpms are not enought to fire off. put a set of plugs in it and get it warmed up. may need to change the oil as well. have seen this before fuel dilution will dilute the engine oil and burn the bearings when you get it running.

The gas itself might not freeze but if condensation is present in the gas tqnk, the water can freeze and block the gas from flowing in the lines.
The plugs and wires are only a few months old and the jeep is a daily driver. So I doubt the fuel id fouled.
I will change the oil this week, thanks for the info

maybe its to cold for the fuel to vaporize

If you drove through any water lately check to make sure your air filter did not get wet and freeze up.
