If you have an external regulator on the firewall, cover it, basically anything electrical. Also avoid high pressure spray at any gasket seam (valve covers, front cover, fuel pump etc.)

Great tip! And that way if you get something wet you shouldnt have, you will remember what you were squirting just before the engine died so the next time you'll know not to get that thing wet again.
