Ive always been an advocate on degreasing via spraying directly on a rag and hand wiping. Sensors dont like moisture. Not sure why people think this is a good method for cleaning. NO on pressure washing or hosing in general. Save yourself the headache of frying sensors and blowing out gaskets...

But to help you after flaming you, its most likely moisture in the distributor cap, take off dry out, make sure no water in spark plug tubes.

it would be nice if we ever got any feedback
i know we have nailed many problems to the tee and never get feedback on them
dont know if they look at what we have to say or if they just fix it and go on there way

I think most people take what we say, fix it, and then never post on here again cause there''s no need. I hate when people do that..
