NodeMCU wont connect to Blynk

Question

My NodeMCU wont connect to Blynk with my code but works fine with example code and same auth token and WiFi info. Cant figure out why its not working. Must be something in my code interfering with it (Or something stupid I'm missing). Any ideas? Thanks!

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "AUTH";

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "SSID";
char pass[] = "PASSWD";

Answer 1

Ok I got it figured out, it was because I was using pin 9 and 10, I didnt know they couldn't be used. Thanks @Juraj!

Answer 2

I'd start by cutting it down to just the setup() and loop() functions (without the timer call) and establish whether it connects, and if not, why not.
Then add back the timer call and a very short version of checkSensors(), and try again.
Continue adding back sections of code until it fails.
