Default EDIT--revised post

Have located procedure from searching forum--no avail. Will let it all dry out a bit. However:
Code 1339 comes up, which is supposedly secondary fuel pump (it is an R), but this would onlyaffect high-demand use, not starting and basic running. I suspect flooding or perhaps water from car wash..car cranks but no start.

Any ideas for better diagnosis?

Default IT'S NOT JUST A CAR....IT'S AN---

adventure. Here's the story. Moved the car a few feet to wash. Wouldn't restart. Figured it was flooded or wet. Nope...Plugs clear; car sat in 88F for 5 hours,so should have dried out.1339 code related to fuel pump failure. Well, check the fuses...nope.Well, what's the first thing you do when a computer crashes? right, reboot. So, turn on the key and pull/replace all the fuses and relays related to pump. Guess what...starts right up.....

Codes cleared. Since the car wouldn't run, there was no check engine light--none now either....
