A RAT ATE A WIRE IN OUR 2001 XJ8. ITS THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE FEXIBLE WRAP COMING OUT FROM THE LEFT COVER WHICH CONNECTS TO A WIRE WHICH GOES THROUGH THE FIREWALL. HOW DO THEY CONNECT?
If you can isolate the damaged section of the wire harness, it can be repaired without removing the entire harness. At the damaged section, pull a single wire up away from the bundle and cut out the damaged section. Strip about a ΒΌ inch of the insulation from both cut ends to expose the copper wire. Get a spool of wire that is the same gage (or larger) and cut about four inches of that and strip the insulation from both ends. Use crimp type wire connectors and attach the new section of wire to the previously cut wire of the harness. Fold the repaired wire out of the way and pull another damaged wire from the harness and repeat the process described here. Continue until all of the damaged wires have been spliced. Fold the repaired splices and wrap several turns of electrical tape to tidy the appearance of the work. Do not do this work until you have disconnected the battery cables and do only one wire at a time to avoid getting a crossed circuit. Good luck.

Engine stall -- now it won't start won't steer
If Gas mixes with water, combustion is impossible. Not only is the fuel bad, the lines and spark plugs are messed up. Water will also mess up the electrical lines and the cars computer.
First, get some gasoline drying solution. That takes a day or two to work. When the water is removed from the gas tank, add fresh 100% gas. Pull all the spark plugs and clean the ends and check the gap for proper distance. Make certain the plugs are clean and dry before you reinsert them into the ports. Dry and clean all spark plug wires. Check you battery also. It should not have corrosion on the poles. If they have a coating, clean them and make perfect contact with the power cables. Try to start the engine now. Good luck.
