possible IDM failure???

I got up this morning started my truck like normal to warm it up. It ran for about 15 minutes and then just cut off. I tried to restart it and it would crank and crank and crank never fire off and run. also the wait to start light doesnt come on anymore. I was told could be an issue with the injector relay, i checked it and it was fine. could it be the IDM has gone out?

Fuse 22 under the hood. Replace it and unplug your fuel bowl heater, middle connection on the fuel bowl. It most likely shorted out, runs on the same fuse as the pcm. Replace if you wish, most just leave it unplugged unless you live in real cold.
