i usually cover up my distributer, coil and some other electrical such as the fuse box with a plastic bag... the one time i didnt water got into the distributer and made the car run like crap

a friend of mine did that in his gt and it backfired and blew a softball size hole in the muffler.

Maybe after power washing it you should blow it down with compressed air? Just a thought
