Cover the distributer .,otherwise you will have to take the cap off and dry it out . I did look to see if you had a DOHC or a SOHC engine . If you have a DOHC ,you will have to remove the plug wires and blow out the spark plug holes with compressed air after you are done
I had a 92 DX with a SOHC and washed the engine 2or 3 times a year never had a problem . Malcolm

SOHC...Plug Wires...
 
I have washed mine Twice and have had troubles with water getting into the plug holes on the engine.. So I have had to take each wire out afterwords and blow it out... Even tried to keep the water away the 2nd time but it still happened..

I got the '94 DX SOHC...


Still selling your Spoiler??
