ive always heard that if your going to power wash a EFI car to do it while the motor is running to prevent things like that. as to how it would help to have it running, you got me.
I used to always wash my previous trucks, 2 were EFI, and I wash the motor on this one all the time without it running. I have yet to have a problem.
