Thanks guys, I mainly used the degreaser on the heavy stuff and sprayed ArmorAll on the rest. I used a power washer, but I turned down the pressure and opened a wide fan-like pattern on the nozzle. No problems, everything started up. I never did find my distributor???? I'm more familiar with diesels then I am gasoline engines……. Sorry for my ignorance, but if someone can post a pic of the distributor, then maybe I will be better informed next time. I tried to locate and follow the plug wires, but I guess my XJ uses coil packs instead of plug wires. Also, does anyone want to explain why it's important to cover up the throttle body? I don’t see how water could leak into it, unless if I took off the air intake. Again, I apologize for my ignorance, but I really love my XJ and I want to learn my vehicle.
