Looks good. Car started fine and is running well? I'm surprised the coil packs are still okay with all the water.

alright chance it if ya want to... over here on the west coast they do care. Its something you gotta chance as if someone reports you or a cop passes by your *** would get in trouble.

So I hope you get along with your neighbors fine. This is something I would not chance.Its a stupid chance. I'd rather hand clean it vs spraying it and if I did spray it it would be a steamcleanin since the hot steam is better vs pressure washer

I'll myself wouldn't use a steam cleaner to clean the engine bay. Its hot steam can actually actually condense and get into connectors and cause a short. Even if it there a weather seal on the connector.

Yeah car still runs well. I didn't spray loads of water on the engine. Just quick swipes to remove some of the grease, grime and dirt.

actually the steam evaporates vs pressure which the water leaves puddles. Just my 2cent.

but over all you engine pay is cleaner

Hey Scrooge. Great write up but do you think you could transfer your pics to another source other than Photobucket? All the pics have exceeded the bandwidth and I was hoping to use your DIY today. Thank you!
