Hey Jim, I tried to rep you for all this wonderful help you have shown here. However apparently I gotta spread the love. I am simply amazed how much you along with Jose and Farm69 have done here to try to help. 4 pages of thread in one evening. This is awesome to see.

Thanks again to everyone that tried to help diagnose. I cannot get a starter until tomorrow. BUT........I left the battreys disconnected last night and when I got home tonight I reconnected turned the ke and it started right up. I let it idle for about 10 min shut it down waited a couple of minuites and if fired again. I am going to wait a couple of hours and try it again. I will probably have it put on a computer this weekend to see if there are any codes. Once again thank you all very much and I will update if I come up with something else

IMO don't waste your time - money taking it in a checking for codes, unless you are showing a CEL. You will probably have some such as CPS : caused by excessive cranking and ICP : because it was disconnected. Replace the starter and go through some drive cycles first and the internal codes should go away in time.
Thanks for the PM ...
