Hello all, I have a 01 Motorsport with a 4.7 and Auto Trans. I Parked it in August and let it sit untill now (Mid November.) I've only started it twice since then and it refuses to start now.

When parked it was very low on gas and possibly running on fumes, but other than that everything was fine.

Since then, I've put in a few gallons of Premium.

I've replaced the battery as it wouldn't hold a charge and it was the original.

New spark plugs, as I was thinking maybe they got fouled out from cranking with bad/no gas.

I've also tested the coil packs, they read 1.5k Ohms, but the Service manual says they should read between 6-9k. But, I have a hard time believing all 8 decided to fail at the same time, just from sitting.

The old plugs smelled of gas, and I'm not seeing any spark on the plugs.

Also, ordered new Cam and Crank sensors, but they haven't arrived yet.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Glad you found the trouble.

That's crazy when something breaks on a PARKED truck.
