No point in ruining perfectly good coils if they work though, save them as back ups

Whats gonna be better, mud on all your stuff or a little bit of water? All your hoses are gonna dry rot quicker and theres gonna be stuff everywhere but its way better than just leaving it there. I sure as hell didnt want to let all that mud sit on my engine. Also will hold heat in.

the worst I ever had happen is it missed like hell after I washed the motor. Water gets in the holes that the plugs are down in and causes the coils to miss fire. If this happens you just have to pull your coils off and dry the boots springs.... And get the water out the holes... Blow air down in there. I get a shop vac and use a coil boot I tape it the the shop vac hose and just suck the water out of each hole.

As long as you give it time to dry you should be fine.

Probably stay away from fuse box under the hood, other than that I don't know if there's anything else you should need to worry about.

Finally finally finally! My buddy finally got home leave and brought me my charger. Is a 10 row IC but like [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION]'s they obviously didn't have an oil separator. Build up is not too bad, but alot of residue. Came with EGR, IAC, CTS, BBV & TPS, so no sensors to buy. Rotors turn nice and smooth. there is 1 ding on the pulley that i may not be able to work out. Worst case scenario ill replace it. I have a lot of cleaning/polishing

to do on all of it before the install, but plenty of time. Also 1 injector was lost so I'll have to replace it. Anybody have an extra?
