Got a good scare today
I decided to clean the engine bay today since It was pretty nasty, i tried covering most of the electrical stuff before spraying some scrubbing bubbles, and after about 3 minutes rinsed everything with water with a hose, no pressure.. dried everything and went to turn the car on and, wait for it ... i had all kinds of errors and it would take like 5 seconds for the car to start, as in a bad starter, tranny malfunction, steering wheel locked bla bla .. i think my heart stopped for a min. BUT after some praying and about 15 mintues later i guess everything dried up and all the errors went away but the service engine light, so I went ahead and disconnected the battery for a few mins to reset the computer and she was back on her feet like new.
Just thought I would post this to warn you gents, be very careful when cleaning the engine bay.
Happy with how clean the engine looks now though..
