Shortly after I purchased mine..I did the same high pressure wash under the hood. I covered what I thought needed it and went to work. I jumped in the car and took off, made a few stops, then puff..nothing. The car just died. I was able to start it but it ran so bad I had to have it towed. It turned out to be several things: fuel pressure regulator, thermo switch sensor framus thingy etc...I was so pumped that it ran I didn't pay attention to all that was replaced. The moral of this story is DON'T PRESSURE WASH THE BABY or she gets really pissed off! Good luck! Curt
