Hello everyone, new here and have a problem i hope to get a straight answer for.
I have an 04 Ram with a 5.7, I rarely drive the truck, it has only 40,000 miles on it now.
Anyway to sum it up the truck sat for the last 6 mos with a dead battery, installed a new battery and truck would crank over but not start, shot with a small amount of carb cleaner and it fired but then just went back to just cranking.
I can hear the fuel pump prime up and when the truck will start it will idle for a few min and then stall out and not want to start until it sits for a little bit and some times the red lightning bolt will come on and other times it will flash while idling and the truck runs rough.
I replaced the TPS with one i know to have been good but still same problem, i cleaned the TB, still same problem, i have cleaned ground connection still same problem, it will not throw a code so i can't get anything from the scanner.
I'm at a loss here, never had any problems with this truck till it sat with a dead battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
