How cold has it been there?

Reason I'm asking is I think I had some water condense in my 95 T/A while it was sitting in the garage without drygas...

I started the car up and it sounded aweful. I turned the car off checked the anti freeze wondering if the coolant had frozen. Once I was happy it wasn't that the collant had frozen and the block cracked or freeze plugs were pushed out I tried starting the car again and got nothing....

I ended up adding dry gas to the tank letting it sit for a couple of days as well as adding a few more gallons of gas. I then jumped the car and it ran fine for 30mins or so while I let it charge the battery up.

Take it easy
