Pull a plug wire off to see if it is getting spark if it is then check to see if you are getting fuel with a pressure guage at the engine. This will help you eleminate some of the possibilities of why it is not starting. If it was running fine before washing I would check electrical connections for water.

My brother's got his ford f150 standard truck stuck in the mud and now it wont start the battery is fine but when you try to start it all it does is click the first time then if you try again it wont do...

Hi, The only way the mud or water has got into the heads is if the engine or exhaust is stuck below the mud/water. Try to see if the exhaust is clear of mud or water if this is blocked then you will not start. But I think you may just have the starter motor has got mud into it, in which case you need to get vehicle pulled out & bump start it, IE: whilst either pulling or better to push the vehicle & get it to start. Do not turn it off until you have given vehicle a run as this will eliminate any mud around the flywheel which is why the starter will not work. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.
