you would need to protect/cover electrical items that have openings like your alternator etc...otherwise...bang !...plus avoid blasting hot steam onto switches and fuse components......more bang !!
Good luck..mr. muscle..??

steam cleaned my engine a couple of times an it comes up great. think its best to leave it running and avoid direct spraying of electrical components. also a word of warning, wen i did mine the force of the spray knocked a little rubber boot of the throttle cable by the throttle body which slid down the cable. so on my way home it jammed the throttle open which was scary! other than that shouldnt have any problems
