I pressure washed my engine; the truck wouldn't start later. I had the starter tested, it tested good. What else could it be?

Hello,
It sounds like you have water in the engine.
When you try to start it, what does it do?
Does it just crank over but not start?
Was the engine running when you pressure washed it?
If you have water in the intake, or other electrical components, it will prevent it from starting.
You want to make sure that all the critical components are dry. Make sure there is no water in the spark plug holes.
Also inspect the intake and dry/clean any wet components.
Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
