Answer
most car detailers would say a pressure washer will do more damage to your car paint than good
Perhaps it will be useful on like tires.
If you want to buy something to make your washing easier, you should look at a foam gun/cannon/lance instead.

Why would a car stall after having the engine washed with a pressure washer?

My brother recently test drove a 2001 dodge intrepid after the used car dealer power washed the engine. It stalled on us 3 times while test driving but it couldn't have been the battery because it started right back up with no problem. The dealer thought he may have gotten some plugs wet while washing, so he replaced them the next morning and it ran fine for a few days then started stalling again. What would cause this?
Next, I test drove a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited after the engine was pressure washed and it stalled about 6 times during our drive. Again, it couldn't have been the battery because it started up immediately.
Both cars drove fine with the exception of stalling. They were both washed in garages but it's still winter in iowa so it would have been forty degrees in either garage at the very most. The only common denominators i can identify is that both engines were washed in the cold and they are both made by Chrysler. Please help.

Typically pressure washing an engine is not a good idea unless you make it a point to cover all of the electronics which can be a task and most people will not do it. I don't think it is the make of the car that is the problem. It may be the salesman trying to cover up a problem by washing down the engines. When I clean an engine, I use low pressure water, such as a regular water hose with some all purpose grease cutter. Then i wait just a few minutes for the majority of the water to drip off and crank it up and let it run for a few minutes until the remainder of the water is evaporated. But, I have strayed away from your question, yes, if the pressure washer is the common denominator, then pressure washing is the problem. Are the vehicles from the same car dealer? If so, go somewhere else. I would never buy a vehicle that stalled during a test drive. A vehicle is a big investment. Therefore, it must perform perfectly for me to purchase it.
