Well its been very cold the last couple of days and I think my gas froze. I let my brother drive my Iroc and he left it with a little under 1/4 of a tank, so the next mourning when I tried to start it up I got nothing. So through out the next couple of days I tried starting it and still got nothing. I was able to hear the fuel pump still running when ever I shut off the car, but now I don't hear it running anymore. I'm pretty sure It got fried from trying to start it with the gas being frozen. However, I'm not positive and before I go replacing it, is there any way of making sure its done for? Also I checked the fuse and its fine, I am getting a spark, and my battery has a good charge.

I really doubt the gas froze; the freezing point of gas is -75°C (-105°F).
When you have very little gas in your tank and its below zero it is not uncommon for your gas to freeze.

Maybe you have a little water in your tank from condesation or Maybe the Law of Physics cease to exist in your tank.
I realize its not frozon solid, but what I mean by frozon is its not pure liquid. Maybe a little slushy or thick??? Can't really think of a word to describe it the way I'm thinking of it. Maybe your right with the condensation, just a little condinsation in the gas could cause it to freeze.
