This has probalby been asked but a million times but I am at work and dont have time to look around. Here is my problem. My truck had sat for four days and I went out this morning to start it up, its dead, barely cranks overs. I say no big deal that battery is 3 years old. So I jump it and it wont fire, just cranks but acts like it wants to fire. So finally I hold the pedal to the floor and it fires but rough, let off pedal and it dies. So I do the same thing again and get it to fire, I hold the throttle open enough to keep it running and finally it will idle but slighty rough. I drive it backwards and forwards and its still rough but will idle almost normal. I shut it off and the same thing happens again. Wont start without hodling it wide open. I have already replaced the downstream O2, could this be the upstream is bad or I know of sensors on the crank going bad and causing this. Any ideas as to what is bad?

I had the same problem you did after I installed a sending unit last year. What i did was shoot some starting fluid down in the intake manifold and it fired right up.

have the battery tested. good possibility it is weak and it may still crank but make those sensors go haywire.
