Im new here been reading through tons of forums trying to figure this out. For a while the truck would quickly flash water in fuel light along with the engine and WTS light and wouldn't go anywhere until I released the throttle. Then it would run fine, usually only did it while I was at a steady idle speed of 45 or 65. The other day I washed it and now it won't fire, I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel heater sensor on the fuel bowl. Still won't fire fuel is getting to the fuel bowl, sounds like its going to fire right up but wont. Any advice would be great obefore I go and replace the IDM. TIA

The IDM wouldn't be on my top ten list. Was the light flashing steady or did it look like a short? Do you have access to a bidirectional scan tool like AutoEnginuity? I'd runs some scans before I started throwing parts at it.

Welcome to the forum TractorMan.

So the issue is either a fault in the electrical OR you actually have water in the fuel ?

Just to cover the basics first, you did drain the fuel bowl and have you replaced your fuel filter recently?

The light quickly came on and went off. I've recently replaced the fuel filter from when the fuel line running from the bowl to the back of the passenger side head. The truck has 456k miles and was running great until I washed it. It acts like it's just not getting fuel.
