Saf Cos not running after jet washing engine bay.
Just posting this on behalf of my friend. After jet washing the engine bay of his 4X4 saff the car starts but as soon as you touch the accelerator it cuts off. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this before? and what the cause is? any help would be appreciated.

most connectors corrode because they are old and corroded and someone has probably jet washed them before for you

shouldn't jet wash cars IMHO, they are shit anyway, and just blow grease out of all the joints and fuck electrics up.... Just put a bit of elbow grease in and do it properly
