cooked distributor. things need to be covered before being pressure washed.

Jimi Hondrix

Agreed. However, doubtful the distributor is "cooked" (but, not to be ruled out).

Remove distributor cap and inspect underside of cap (especially: metal contact points), outerside of cap's metal contacts and coil + igniter for moisture. Also, inspect spark plug wire tips (distributor side) for mosture. Dry both cap and wires as best as possible (use compressed air if available). Do an ECU reset (google search). Put Vaseline on battery terminal and - & + cable leads to help prevent corroson.

Future engine cleanings: put front end of car on jack stands and use rags and degreaser.

If you choose to pressure wash: Cover distributor and alternator with aluminum foil or visqueen + masking tape before spraying.

pull the plugs let it dry and try again, if there is water in the spark plug tubes try to get as much out before you pull the plugs

I did this the first time I washed my b series
