    06 530i won't start after sitting 6 months

    Battery was flat. New fully charged battery installed. Starter cranks and cranks but no start. Only code the scanner shows is U114b.
    Checked the fuel rail it has pressure.
    Anyone have any idea what should check next? Similar experience? Just trying to troubleshoot before getting it towed to the Stealership

    Hello and welcome to the forum! Have you checked the plugs and coil? The code is "lost communication with engine control torque 1"

    I have no reason to think the plugs or coils are bad. It ran perfect before being parked for 6 months.
    I will inspect tonight once I get home. Anything particular about the plugs and coils should look for?
