1996 7.3 no start

i got in the truck this morning with no problems and did some running around. Got home and vacuumed the truck out. By the time I got in the truck to move it it had sat for about 45 minutes. But the truck won't start it just cranks. No smoke is coming out the exhaust and fuel bowl has fuel. I checked all the fuses 3 times and nothing was blown. I'm lost on why it won't start when it ran fine 45 minutes ago. Any suggestions?

Does the WTS (wait to start light) come ON when turning the key?

Tach moves. The wts light does not come on. I swapped idm out with a spare and it came on. Tightened all the bolts to hold the idm and went to try to start but the wts came on and immediately turned off. Still not start. Just cranks
