I think the gas line on my 01 LS V8 may be frozen. I got a work truck and haven't driven the car much at all this winter, but I was trying to start it periodically. Tried to start it over a month ago after letting it sit for a month and it would just crank and not start. I then pushed the car into an area where it would get sun (it's black) and waited for some warmer days, like last week when it was 40+ degrees Thursday and 50 degrees Friday and the car still wouldn't start.
I got a few more gallons of gas and tossed in gas line anti-freeze.....still nothing.
I have my buddy turn the key on while I listen in the trunk and I *think* I hear the fuel pump turn on. The fuses and whatnot are all in the trunk too though, so do they click on and could I be confusing this for the pump?
After cranking for a bit, I pushed on the fuel line bleeder/pressure test valve and got no fuel at all. I then had my buddy crank it while I held the valve open and got nothing.
What do you guys think it could be? I replaced the fuel filter last year so it shouldn't be the issue, and besides I am getting NO pressure at all. Even using starting fluid the car wont start and stay running. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
