Yeah, I'm in minnesota, and its been single digits for a while, with odd spikes of 20s and such. Frozen water in the fuel lines happens quite a bit up here (that is what I meant to say, not just frozen gas, thanks for the correction!) especially with older cars, and especially with cars that have been sitting for a few months under 3 feet of snow in a kids driveway lol You're even more north than I am, so you know whats up when someone lets their car sit for a while!

I'm all about a challenge, and this MR2 isn't lettin' me down so far. I can't wait, we're expecting 40s for temp this weekend, and the second that happens, out come the jack stands and in goes the fuel filter. I'm itchin to hear this thing start.... the longer I work on just getting this motor running, the farther off my turbo AE86 is... I've thought about just saying screw it and pulling the gze, but I can't bring myself to do it until I've heard it run.

By the way, once the gze is pulled, and rebuilt, a 20v is going in the mr2. I'm not just gonna let 'er get junked.
As soon as I try the fuel filter, I'll update this thread and let you guys know whats going on. Any other ideas on what it could be? And hey, thanks for the quick responses guys!
