So I removed the battery from my wagon to use in another car I put it back in the wagon and now it won't start. Cranks over fine checked all conections and fuses gets spark and fuel. Now if I let it sit for a week it will fire but will not stay running and then just cranks. Any ideas ?. Thanks KR.

The computer reset, it probably needs to run a while to set the parameters again, try to get it going and keep it going.

CHeck your codes too, something might be amiss.

Something could have wrong with one of the sensors all along and the computer was compensating, now the computer has reset the bad sensor is causing trouble that was concealed previously.

Make sense?
