1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Problem
I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 360 gas engine. This truck has set, unused and unstarted for about two months. I went to start it yesterday and the battery was dead so I had to boost it off. The truck wouldn't start unless I laid in to the gas, and will die unless I keep giving it gas. After doing several times the truck will finally idle, but if I turn it off and try to start it back, it does the same thing. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

yes low battery power will cause all kinds of issues...you need enough juice for the ECM to run...no power to ECM = no fuel injection = no run.
so when you get to 2000rpm the alternator is finally putting out enough juice to both charge the battery AND compensate for lack of power..but below that, its lucky to be charging the dead battery while trying to run everything.
