When you washed it, did you spray the bottom of the truck under the engine? If so you may have shorted something out.
If I understood you correctly, the engine started and ran for 3 seconds, then died. If that's the case I would check the fuel system. Check for any exposed wires that could have shorted out if they got wet, ETC. Good luck!

I always leave my xj running when washing it. Then for about 10 min afterwards never a issue. I washed it once parked with engine off and had to replace my TPS.
