so i have been having some battery issues due to the fact that its not my DD anymore. got a new battery today truck started perfect, shut it off and about 20 minutes later i go to leave and it will turn over, crank, then immediately die. Now its done this several times in the past, when the battery has been completely dead. i just let it sit for an hour then it cranks and runs like nothing ever happened. i allays just figured the computer needed some time to pull itself back together, and figure out what it was supposed to be doing. but this time its been about 4 hours and it still wont start.

i pulled a vacuum line to smell for gas to see if it was flooded, not the case.
TB and everything is clean.
its getting spark, and gas.

any ideas, or something else i should check?

oh and its the 99 in my sig

 

Bump^^^

 

Is the security light flashing when this happens?

 

it blinks security when the door is open but not when its closed. however when i close the door and look it with the factory alarm it blinks security again.

here's a video of what its doin.

 

my dads truck did that, and it ended up being the cam sensor, but his is a f250 disel.....thats as much help as i can give, idk ive never seen a gas truck do that

 

I am on the original cam sensor. About 175k miles

 

will it start and run if you give it some throttle?

 

Very stupid question but is your battery cables tight and not gummed up? I had a ghost problem like that because i had the 12v starter wire on the back of the starter come loose and cause an intermitent starting problem. I felt like a freakin idot once i figured it out.

 

If I give it some throttle it sometimes revs a little higher but still dies the same way.

The batterie cables appeared fine when I put the new batterie on but I'll double check them and ground connections tomorrow.

 

bump for new ideas
