You shoudl change the name of the title to "How to: Wash your engine"... it will probably be more noticeable.

Otherwise, thanks for this. I didn't cover anything up but the filter but I did spray around the eletrical stuff but still... thanks to this I should be able to do this again without almost stalling my car when starting up after washing it LOL.

Good tips. Last time I tried this was after I replaced my intake manifold. Messed up the whole car. I haven't done it since, and it shows. I'm still a little scared to do it.
