I have an 05 ih 8600 with a cummins ism. Truck was running great, washed the truck and it ran like crap the second I pulled out of the wash bay. It blows a ton of smoke and has no power. I do have an egr code on, but it was on before. I dont hear the turbo spool like it used to, I removed piping and inspected turbo, everything is good. On insite i noticed the accelerator percent is consistent with pedal position, however the fuel percent seems to jump from like 2-10% straight to 100%. Also turbo control valve command is always at 70 even when revving it up. Not sure where to start with this. Ill attach a link to a video of it surging and blowing smoke, it is from an idle mashing the pedal to the floor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Without knowing much about these engines I am leaning towards manifold pressure sensor. Not sure what else could make it billow smoke like this.

I'd check all your sensor plugs and harness connections for water since it started right after you washed it.

Yah im sire it is related. I pulled it in the heated shop overnight in hopes something will dry out. If not guess Ill start blowing thing out tomorrow

Yah this isnt my regular truck was just borrowing it, harnesses and connectors dont look all that great so water did prob seep in somewhere. Does anyone know what the voltage on each sensor is supposed to be or where I can find that info? I can see all the current values on insite but im not sure what they are supposed to be.
