I believe I had left an interior light on in the truck while on vacation. When I returned the battery was dead. I put a charger on the battery to charge it. When I had enough charge, I tried starting the truck. It would only start if I had my foot on the accelerator pedal and would only stay running while my foot was on the pedal. As soon as I let my foot off of the pedal, the truck stopped running. I can hear the fuel pump working, so that appears OK.
Do you think this would be a battery issue or maybe a fuel pump relay problem?
Thanks for your help.
Answer hello ty
I here this alot . If the battery went dead the compuiter louses it mem. and the truck will not run on less the compuiter is working as the brain to the idile controll senser . if you need a new bat. i would put it in and if your compuiter does not reset it will have to be reprogamed at a dealer the charge is 45 dollors . i would say make sure dome lights arent left on so you do not go threw this again the cars of today stuiped pete
