Since the FICM plainly says do not "JET CLEAN" I do not know what to say. From experience though, I/ we regularly wash the engine compartments out with a ZEP product called "Formula 50" and a garden hose using hot water. Sorry about your luck. Are you sure that the FICM is fried? :confused:

I had this happen to a 2001 D-max and I just let it dry and she started and ran fine after a while.

Hopefully that's all you will need to do.

part of the problem is in the 2001 trucks they fire the injectors with 90 volts DC . Chance are good that voltage is getting to ground before its getting to the injectors.
