You must ground GPIO0 then power up to get in UART mode - upload code.
Take it high and power up for Flash mode(normal running)
Usually the chip will run after upload though until a reset but if I move the GPIO0 wire to high while it is running it keeps doing what it should..

You might have to pull up GPIO0 ... leaving it dangling may still leave it low. Also, how do you know the sketch isn't running?

What kind of sketch was it ?
Maybe you should try a simple LED Blinker ...
Or try the binary I've provided to help someone else viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3770&start=10
