Unhappy Hey guys, my EVO just died

Happened about 20 minutes ago. Was on my way to Church. Started up and ran fine. Got 50 ft and it just up and died. There were no indications that anything was wrong. It cranks just fine and sounds like it wants to run but thats about it. The best I can come up with is frozen gas. I live in Omaha. It got down to 0 last night and is not kept in a heated garage. Any other ideas?

Checked as much of the intercooler piping as I could find. Everything looks intact. Any other ideas?

How full is your gas tank? I believe if you tank was close to empty, its probably more likely that the gas line froze.

Doesn't start at all. Cranks just fine w/o any unusual noises. Don't really know what a cel is so I don't know if I've thrown one or not. All fuses check good. Gas tank has over 1/2 of 92 octane.

did you let it warm up before driving it? or just started it and went. If you didn't warm it up I would go with the frozen fuel line and the 50 ft you drove burned all the fuel between the injectors and the frozen point.
When was the last time you tried to start it? May be warm enough by now (later in the day), if thats the problem.
Try to turn the ignition onlt to the "on" position, not start. Can you hear the humm of the fuel pump?
