I used a hose but I had the sprayer thingy on there and used the "jet stream" Although not at full preasure.

I think the towel under the bag on the coil packs would "soak" up a lot of the moisture or condensation in the bag. That could be a solution. Ours started right up w/o any problems.

Although strangely the check engine light came on later, but went off by the end of the night.

The SES light was likely from water getting in something, then after a few runs it evaporated.. that'* normal for an engine wash. Don't be alarmed, unless the SES light stays on for a while, then you may have a problem.

Well, who knows.. this is like the flushing / drain 'n fill with transmissions. The information is here at your disposal, make your own call.

I just did my SSEi a little while ago. DIdn't cover anything. Used SImple Green full strength, soaked anything I could find and pressure washed it off. Hand dried plastic parts while letting it sit for about 15 minutes. Started right away, no check engine lights, but a horrible belt squeal. After some seafoam deep creep that went away.

BonneMNMe has before pics, I should send him afters. I was impressed how well it cleaned up. Now I just need to get it off the ground and do the bottom of the engine.

Be REALLY sure you cover the PCV breather up.. I had a bunch of water shot down in there, and the car ran like **** for about 45 minutes straight.

Is the PVC breather exposed on a series II */C with the factory engine cover on?

After cleaning of major components (hadn't done lines or anythign yet.



And some more work
