EMP induces a voltage spike in anything that can act like an antenna, like the wires connected to your car's computer, or the circuit traces on the circuit boards. These "antenna" are what need to be shielded, or you need to add a filter or shunt to dissipate the induced spike before it fries

The heater core in my 123 has had a small leak for years now that I have ignored, but needs to be fixed eventually. Not sure why, but they do seem to go bad. Maybe using water instead of coolant corroded it - I did that once when I overheated it. No worries I have a real mechanic lined up to

2. I don't think so, I would imagine that if proper coolant was always used and changed on schedule, that would never be a problem. Maybe you can take it out and have a good radiator shop test it and give you an opinion? Get a used heater core from junkyard and have that tested before-hand, and
