Default P38 Engine won't start after being powerwashed-Need Help!

My neighbor powerwashed my 98 4.6 HSE engine. it was running fine while he did it, and even the following day. However, this morning when I came out to start, it would crank but not start. I'm guessing he got water somewhere he shouldn't, but what do I do??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

if it's set up like the disco your ecu probably got wet it's on the passenger side fender well. Make sure the connection is dry and corrosion free. You'll also need to wait for the box itself to dry out probably.

Oh and stop power washing the engine lol.
