the problems started about a month agot my fuel line had froze. i was
driving on the highway and all of a sudden the rpm's dropped and when i
tried to give it some gas it would give anything. i then walked to the
gas station bought some heet and put that in the tank. every few minutes
i would try to start it and let the heet wok its way through. after about
an hour it fired right up. about 2 and a half weeks later my car did the
same thing. rpm dropped to nothing and pushing the gas would do nothing.
i put heet in the tank at every fillup and i had more than half a tank so
it didn't freeze up again. i got it towed home and got it started enough
to pull into the garage. i changed the fuel filter, got the car started,
tried taking it for a test spin and only made it about a half a block
before it killed again(same way as before) i can hear the fuel pump engage
when i turn the key so i don't think that's it. when i try to start it it
won't turn over and sounds like it's not getting fuel. i think it may be
electrical but i was hoping someone may be of some assistance

possibly the fuel pump, crap in the fuel tank, or a kinked line.
does the engine computer have codes to report?
what is the fuel pressure to the injector rail?
