Battery was draining overnight, tested it was bad replaced it, this morning it fired right up but did not want to stay running without foot on gas. Take into consideration it is only 3 degrees here. But has been weatherized. Thank you

Could be due to the fact that removing the battery has reset the PCM.

And it will have to be ran a bit in order for the sensors to have their new readings recorded.

Will take a few start up cycles.

Has it ran just fine after being winterized? Has it been abnormally cold on that day that it wanted to die out?
