1999 Tahoe won't start
Went to get in the tahoe today to go to work and it wouldnt start. The starter motor kicked in and turned the engine over but it wouldn't fire. When the key was released to the "run" position, the engine would stutter a few times like it wanted to fire, but wouldn't run. Tried several times and each time it would stutter but not start.
I should probably add that the tahoe was sitting outside yesterday in Minnesota where the temps barely reached the double digits. Could this just be a case of bad gas?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a way to test the fuel pressure,do you hear the fuel pump running when you cycle the key to run position but not to start sounds like you may have spark

The fuel pump did run, I tried to start the car about 5 minutes ago and it fired right up. Im thinking it had to do with something freezing in the fuel lines. It was warmer today (about 25).
