well i started up my car last night.. its about 20-30 degrees F here. and my car started up just fine warmed up and everything just great. (i let it go to the second line to warm up then i drive off) well the second stop sign i got to my car died and wouldnt start ! so i got out checked for fuel leaks and there wasnt any. so i tried adjusting my safc... still didnt want to idle.

and i cant figure out what the heck is wrong with it. i was going to drive it to fill it up with gas and let it sit in the garage with the heater on. i dont know if water got in my line and would do that ??

if you have any suggestions please help !!

i have 680cc injectors walbro 255 new fuel filter and its been running fine for the last 2-3 weeks with the new injectors.
 
You mean condension (sorry cant spell for @#&*) in your fuel tank. Yes it can do that. Get some dry gas or drain your tank and put in fresh gas, and you might want to clean out your injectors while your at it.

I had that happen to me while my tranny was being rebuilt when i had my gs, it sat for 3 months with 1/2 a tank.
 
Since it's so cold it could just be water build up in your motor. A little bit of driving should dry up what little is in there. Other than that it could be a number of things. How old are your mods? Did you install everything properly? Check your sensors ect... Your not really giving us much to go on.
