Vehicle used sparingly. Dead battery last weekend; recharged and vehicle started/ran/drove normally. This weekend, 6 year old battery dead again, so I replaced it. Good crank now, but no fire. Engine turns over well but will not start? Is there a specified "procedural step" I need to complete after replacing the battery? I have checked the fuel reset switch and it is fine.

Hi Carl Lentry, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark related problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
