    i say go to the do it yourself car wash place. put a plastic bag over the battery and air intake.
    and put if on engine wash (should have a setting for that) and let it rip!!!!

    i know....





    its fun, but the clean up after takes its time (hmmm... kinda like sex lmao)

    just be careful not to get water UNDER intake...our knock sensors like to rust out
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    soak it with simple green and let sit for about 5 minutes and then hit it with the exterior hot soap car wash setting and all should come loose.
