Re: 97 accord Engine Cleaning?
Ensure that the whole intake filter is covered because water getting sucked into the engine= bad deal.
The distributor
Spark Plug wires
Fuel resistor box
Alternator
Fusebox
and that should be all unless I am forgetting something. Also, using Simple Green works wonders. When spraying it down, use it on the mist setting.

Alternator = Yellow
Injector Resistor Box = Green (doesn't have to be covered, just don't spray the shyte out of the connector)
Distributor = Red
