5.7 TPI Got wet occasionally wont start

So a few weeks ago I flushed the cooling system and pretty much got everything wet (except probably the cap/rotor since the TPI cover was still on) - But everything else got wet. The car wouldn't start for about 5 days.

It finally started an it was fine for about a week. Then one day, no start. It took 2 days and finally it started like nothing was wrong. Then it was fine for almost 2 weeks. Now, it wont start again.

What could possibly cause it to occasionally not start? And could change that would allow it once again start after a few days?

You should start with the basics, when it doesn't start check fuel pressure, check for spark and for injector pulse with a noid light.
