Truck won't start after winter storage?

mcdoogle1975 · Mar 13, 2015

So I put my 10 away for the winter in October, hooked up the battery tender, covered and ready for the long slumber. Went out today to find my battery tender shit the bed on me and my battery was dead. So I recharged the battery and tried to start......no go...... she turns over and fires every once in a while but that's it.....any ideas?

Does it only crank over, but not stay running? Or does it not run at all?

She cranks over but doesn't start. Does fire once in a while but wont start...... I know my computer reset because I have no codes now and when I put her away I had a code because it was tuned to run rich.

No codes in the system?

None what so ever, and I know there were at least two when I put her in storage.

Disconnect battery for a bit and reconnect. Also floor gas pedal while starting. Sometimes it takes that for the first start.

Got it.....vapor lock!!!!! Released the fuel pressure via the fuel pressure regulator and she fired right up.....
