[QUOTE="Steve Brothers, post: 1039455, member: 62082"] Disconnecting the battery often makes the engine computer module forget some settings, and requires it to relearn, which takes place over several cycles of driving. I find that if the truck isn’t starting normally, I can get it to start by flooring the accelerator pedal while cranking the starter. This shuts off the fuel to the injectors and allows maximum air, to clear out any flooding. Just release the pedal when it starts so that it doesn’t over-rev. [/QUOTE]
