Default Z06 not starting after Winter rest

Hi vetters
Sadly my 2017 ZO6 M7 decided not to start today.
After storing her in the garage all winter, today I try to start her but she didnt.
The engine is cranking but not starting at all.
I got new Battery today but nothing helping.
Fuel tank is full. Airfilter is new as well.
Here are the DTCs codes

P16E5
P00EB
P0107
P0106

I understand it has something with fuel and manifolds and IAT.

The car was fabulous before the winter.
Any idea what is going on. Dealer is my last option.
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks

How long was it stored? It’s cranking, so you have juice. I’d doubt it’s a problem with air. If it was laid up for a long time I wonder if you don’t have some bad fuel. Did you use Stabil, or anything?

Spent my whole day in the garage. Its a mouse. I found a mouse living at the back top of the engine. It cuts 2 wires which I believe the 2nd map sensor and fuel rail pressure sensor.
Cant believe. It will cost fortune to replace this harness because of the stupid location.

Going to dealer on Tuesday.
Thanks for the input

And this is why I have glue traps in every corner of my garage. Mice love to scurry along the walls. After 10 years, I finally caught my first the other day. Poor guy. Stuck as ****.

If you have adequate access to the wires you can probably repair them and skip a trip to the dealer. If you have enough slack in the wires, you could use a solder sleeve to make the repair. If you don't have much slack you can solder a splice in place and cover it with heatshrink to seal it. There any number of ways to fix this if you're handy with a solder iron. Using a solder sleeve takes almost no expertise. Just the sleeve and hot air gun. Plus, you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself. In any event, I doubt you're going to have to yard out that wiring harness.

I did not know solder sleeves existed. Very cool little devices. I will keep these in mind. Thanks!

Very good advice. I do lots of soldering and I could repair this no problem.
