I power washed the engine of our 90 LS400 countless times over nearly 14 years and 183,500 miles, never covered anything, and never had a problem. I suggest you just let the engine dry out over a few days before you seek professional help.

From what I remember, there are two of them, and they look like this:

You should be able to spot them right at the top of the engine in the front. I hope this helps.

no vsc on a 1990. I had a similar problem on my 90. pull all sparkplug wires out of the head, there will be water down the head on top of the spark plugs maybe this helps
