I have to let the car warm up due to the fact that I have an underlying problem with the TPS, mechanic has by passed this for the moment until I have the cash flow to fix it properly. But when I started it, it did the chuggalug thing and then quit , It was a cold night & the day before I put gas in. I haven't been able to do anything with it for a couple of days cause I had to work & then today I put some gas line anti freeze/ water evaporator in it and let it run for about 5 mins, it only chugged once and then started running fine but I went to the tail pipe so that I could see the exhaust and smell it (not that I am into huffin fumes lol), I couldnt smell anything but normal fumes and the fumes looked fine for a cold day but I noticed looking at the tail pipes that it was dripping water every second and the pipe that goes into the muffler was also dripping (yes I need new muffler also) But is this water in the tank? I have never had this happen befor.

"Condensation, Bad Exhaust Systems are Worst!" You Won't Smell the Conditioner you Put In the Tank.

All hot exhaust systems consume moisture as soon as you turn the ignition off. It's a relative humidity thing especially in the winter.
When you purchase gas line antifreeze make absolutely you're buying isopropyl alchohol. It woulden't hurt to dump another 12 oz of this gas tank / line antifreeze in your tank.

No it is just condensation and it is normal.
