Follow up question to my "So thar I was" post.

A list member p-mailed and suggested that rain may have entered the engine
compartment through the air vent on the side of the van. Considering that
the wind was strong enough to force water through the pop-top fabric, was
easily 40 mph, and the downpour was actually a side-pour (rain was blowing
horizontally), is it possible that buckets might have gone in the vent?
Perhaps causing the engine to just turn over and over but not catch?

The weather side was the driver's side, i.e., the side of the engine with
the ECU, the ignition coil.
