    thank you everyone! i got the truck started, took advantage of warm weather and took two car with jumper cables t heat the batteries for a push, took a 20 min ride, turn off

    start again it it fired right up, but upon engine starting, the engine be came from great start to slow start i have to rev the engine so it wont lose power, what gives?

    now as i soon turn off engine and take out the key, engine skipped a beat but fired right up with out key?
    can some oen explain?

    Have to really watch what engines you are using a ether based starting fluid. Many modern engines have an air intake heater which can ignite the ether and blow your air intake system. I'm running a 2013 Prostar with the Maxxforce (Man) diesel engine and it has such a system. Good way to lose ones eyebrows. The starting fluid is actually hard on the engine itself so should be used sparingly.
