Cool Truck won't start

The other die i turned my truck off for about ten minutes and then i went to start it and it would crank good but not start and the wait to start light stayed on and my water pump started leaking at the same time. Hoping it is just the CPS is there any way of testing these or could be my HPOP the truck is a 95 with about 218,000 on the original HPOP the truck has an edge programmer. Really need help to get truck up and running soon Thanks for any help

There's no real test to see if the CPS is good or bad. Is it throwing a code?

Check the HPOP to make sure it has the proper amount of oil. If it's low, the injectors won't fire.

To eliminate the programmer as a potential problem, remove it and try to restart the truck. If the truck starts after removing, the programmer is most likely the problem.

The water pump leak is a completely different issue you'll need to deal with.

From what I understand, the tach won't bounce up and down when cranking if the CPS is bad.
