1 Check fuel filter and drain water if present.
2 Take compressed air and gently disconnect the FICM harness and blow both the connector and the FICM dry.
3 Unplug the CAN BUS connectors on the top of the engine and blow them out with compressed air.
4 Unplug engine ECM and repeat blowing with compressed air
5 Treat all connectors with a lite coating of dielectric grease.
6 Try starting now
7 If none of this helps you may have shagged an electical component (FICM AND ECM come to mind.)

Good advice.

Gotta be water inside an electrical connector.

Never use a pressure washer in the engine compartment of any car/truck/motorcycle.
