yes our cars have no distributors...it has individual coil packs which are above each sparkplug it reduces the need for sparkplug wires and a distributor

If you're like me, your eyes. I spray all around except where I should.

No, nowhere else that I'm aware of.

I would cover the tranny dipstick. It is very flimsy and wouldnt be suprised if water got in there. other then that, just the intake. I never cover the battery or alternator, I just dont spray directly on the alternator.

just spray the whole damn thing.. think about it.. ever drive your car in the rain the get home and open the hood... literally (depending on variable factors such as if you have certain tire well and front bumper pieces left or how heavy the rain is) then your motor is all covered in water... alternator and everything... so to me if you have an aftermarket intake just take the filter off then spray the motor.. if your still stock then just spray away

yeah... I wouldn't worry about cover anything that is stock if you are just spraying. If you're using a cleaner that's different. Also, do you a high power sprayer like a car wash or something, that can tear the wires out of the sockets, I've done it and it sucks tring to figure out what wire it is and all that.
