need help,fuel problem?
I decided a few days ago to do my rear brakes, I left the rear jacked up overnight, when I went to start my van up in the morning, it rotates fast but will not start, I had less than 1/4 of a tank, so I put 10 bucks of premium and a antifreeze bottle, and changed fuel filter, still did not work, cap and rotor fine, plugs new,
am I left with the fuel pump in the tank?
I was told my line froze up,
it has been cold in NJ, but it has been not too bad the last few days.

It's possible it froze, but if it has been above freezing for a few days, it should have thawed. Can you hear the pump run for a couple of seconds when you turn the key on? If so, repeatedly turn it on and off a few times before cranking it to see if it will build fuel pressure. Also, check the inertia switch, it may have gotten tripped somehow. It should be on the interior firewall, usuall in the brake pedal area.
