Parked nose down on an incline for a short time, just long enough to enter a garage gate code, now the truck sputters when starting and dies when put in drive.

Any suggestions? Gas tank is a little over 3/4 full and the incline was not severe.

In your manual, on page 72, it clearly states that you should never park a Raptor nose down on an incline. It activates the DNSA (Do Not Start Again) sensor. To reset the sensor, you must simply do a complete tire rotation. Excuse the rudeness of the other posters. I keep trying, and failing, to get them to be classy like me. :favorites13:

Thanks for helping. Guess I'm not familiar with this forum as far as what is appropriate to post or not. Just washed my husband's truck and now I'm stuck with a truck that won't start waiting for him to help me out (cue violins). You are classy!
