...as the title states....
Here is the rundown:
Outside temps around 10 Deg F all day and lower in morning when I woke.
515 am: wake up and drive 45 mins to work
starts fine, no issues
600 am - 300 pm: leave car in weather entire day
starts fine at 300pm, no issues
310 pm: driving home, car was cruising at 70mph when it died
engine rpms fluctuate up and down, varying from 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm for about 3 seconds until engine death, I coast safely to a stop on the shoulder. no start, engine will turn over but not catch, tried more than a few times.
had been snowing, no moisture in the airbox though.
7/8ths of a tank of fuel. been cold recently, today was probably the coldest. forgot to put in anti-gel (thats probably the problem) after last refill. ran a day to work and back on this tank fuel prior to incident.
got towed to a friends house, going back on saturday with hair dryer and anti-gel, temps supposed to by around 34 Deg F.
car has larger holes, smart box and race pipe (none of which have created any problems in the past)
Anybody think it could be something else besides fuel gel? I feel pretty stupid right now, its probably fuel gel.
