Help! 06 died in the middle of the road

Well, I made the mistake of washing under the hood of my truck today. I tried to be pretty careful but apparently I got some water in the rail pressure connector(quadzilla connector). I got home and the truck was running rough. I pulled the rail pressure connector off and looked and sure enough, there was water in the sensor. I blew it out with an air hose and put dielectric grease on the connectors(they looked fine). I plugged it back in and started it. It still ran rough but not quite as bad. I then completely unhooked the quad and reconnected the factory connectors. I decided to drive it a little in hopes the heat would help dry it out. I got about a mile up the road and the truck died. I tried starting it for about 5 minutes with no luck. I got out and unplugged the rail pressure connector and it started up and I was able to get it back home. It did not run bad on the way home but the engine was a lot louder and you could tell it was down on power. Once I got home I got out and plugged the connector back in while the truck was running. It made no difference in how the truck ran when I plugged it back in. I unplugged it again and the truck still ran the same. I left it unplugged for now hoping it might dry out and work. Don't know if I would trust it though.

Does this sound like the rail pressure sensor is shot? I have been getting the 0192 code ever since I washed it.

Any ideas what else it might be?

Thanks in advance
Dave

Pull the fuel injector connectors, two of these at valve cover. Blow these out also. Make sure the seal for the connector it still there before blowing out with some air.

i am not very high on quadzilla products but just curious as to what quad was doing with the signal was it for a pressure box it must not have been for a pressure gauge
