I personally wash my engine bay now and then. If you're going to do it, it's probably a good idea to put a plastic bag over your alternator and air intake, but so long as you don't take a very high power pressure washer to it, washing should be alright.

Ahh.

I can think of a few other possibilities on why Teal might not have as much power. Dirty injectors, clogged EGR or PCV valve, not sure D series engines had EGR valves? Possibly some crud buildup in the intake manifold. Does it burn any oil?

Not really. I checked it after the first 3000 miles and it was down about 1/4 quart.
As far as injectors, I have some BG44K here, but the Toyota Nation people used to say that it wasn't recommended by the manufacturer, so not to use it..
Use it?
I think PCV valves are a 5 minute job. Not sure about EGR's.
