It didn't swim that deep. That is deep enough to allow water to flow in
through the door openings. And, we all know that Real Jeeps don't have doors

Yeah. An external electric pump.
Are you suggesting that it could be sucking air through a hole in the line
from the pick up to the pump itself? I hadn't considered that. It fits the
profile though. As I was replacing the missing vac line to appease the Smog
*****, I noticed the high pressure fuel lines appeared to have cracks
developing. Now, I have to replace them too or risk an impromptu shut down
and possible fire. I pray the fire starts slowly so I can get away ...

Is it hot electrically? I know you were talking temps, but can it light my
*** with a shock that will throw me across the road, or slam my head into
the underside of the hood? It is 25kV, after all. Even at a miliamp, that
can be quite a hit.

Yes, I am implying that for sure. Suction leaks are sneaky, they just
make a slight stain on the line, they don't **** out like pressure
lines. Usually they are right where the rusty line hits the rotted
'rubber' hose.

If the coil wire is bad and leaking to ground on the coil case, touching
the coil can give you a lift, that's unusual but does happen, but I was
talking physically burning hot.
The water spray test in the dark will tell you if the coil wire leaks.

Yes, I am implying that for sure. Suction leaks are sneaky, they just
make a slight stain on the line, they don't **** out like pressure
lines. Usually they are right where the rusty line hits the rotted
'rubber' hose.

If the coil wire is bad and leaking to ground on the coil case, touching
the coil can give you a lift, that's unusual but does happen, but I was
talking physically burning hot.
The water spray test in the dark will tell you if the coil wire leaks.

Yes, I am implying that for sure. Suction leaks are sneaky, they just
make a slight stain on the line, they don't **** out like pressure
lines. Usually they are right where the rusty line hits the rotted
'rubber' hose.

If the coil wire is bad and leaking to ground on the coil case, touching
the coil can give you a lift, that's unusual but does happen, but I was
talking physically burning hot.
The water spray test in the dark will tell you if the coil wire leaks.
