[DeTomaso] Something is so wrong with this

[Rob Dumoulin]

Back in the day, 1986, I owned an '86 Pontiac Fiero 2M6.  Fun and quick
car.  One morning, my battery was dead. The culprit was a faulty oil
pressure sensor.  The factory design had the car's fuel pump run as long as
there was oil pressure.  The ignition was off, car parked, but the fuel
pump kept running until the battery died.

I can only imagine a case where an accident shorted out the oil pressure
sensor and pumped fuel all over the place.
