    Set the scene:
    Monday night i drove my truck home through a ton of slush/ice on my dirt road leading to my drive way. Standing water/ice was around 6 inches at times...(it was fun to drive in!)

    Tuesday morning go out to start the truck (15 degrees F) and it starts rough and idles rough. Has no power to even get it into gear to move it. I look under the body and everything is caked in thick ice!

    I'm not sure if the ice has anything to do with it it just seems weird that this thing has never given me one issue and all of a sudden and I cant even get it to drive.

    Thoughts? Truck has ran perfect since I got it. Plugs were replaced 50,000 miles ago. Seems to be misfiring on way more than 1 cylinder. Maybe a sensor got knocked with the ice? Did a coil go bad?

    Thanks

    something got wet and stayed wet...put it in a warm place and let it thaw, that should make the misfire easier to find, if not fix it.

    Check the air filter. If it got wet then froze, air can't go through.

    Air filter looks fine. Maybe fuel pump got clogged? It was low on fuel...I'm going to listen to the pump when I get home and make sure I hear it. Kinda bummed when I read Toyota didn't put a valve on the fuel rail to test pressure...oh well.

    Maybe ice was just a coincidence and the low fuel gunked up the pump. thoughts or experience on a clogged pump? It ll start..barely, then barely stay idling.

    already know I will replace it with URB pump
