I know pressure washers are handy but these cars don't take well to water. Some Simple Green and Armorall wipes work great for engine cleaning. What plugs are you running? Most prefer NGKs M52 engine: NGK BKR6EQUP
M50 engine: NGK BKR6EK.

yeah deff no water check dme i had significant power loss then my crankshaft sensor blew out i think i may have lost camshaft as well also check each coil see if you get spark in all of them to do that pull plug put in coil wire put on bare metal crank car see if you have spark
