Surface wiring is wiring that is enclosed in some kind of containment and surface fixed. For example if you installed a conduit containment system to supply a socket this is screwed to the walls with "saddles" and a mounting block is used to protrude the socket off the wall to take the conduit. This is surface wiring as opposed to concealed wiring which is encased in the fabric of the wall and all you see is the socket.

What would cause 93 ls400 to have an extreme miss at hi-way speed like it's running out of fuel and wants to sign off but never does?

Check, 1) Fuel filter. If okay, check fuel pump pressure.2) Air filter. If dirty, knock it on solid surface and blow clean or replace. 3) Wiring to sparkplugs. Usually spraying the wiring with WD40 will fix bad wiring. You can see arcing from bad wiring if you rev the engine with all lights off. 4) Check sparkplugs too.


How do you change electrical wires in the home when there is sheet rock on the walls?

Generally, you cannot change wiring in a home with sheet rock without significant damage to the sheet rock. If you abandon the existing wiring, which is technically a code violation, you can drill through the bottom or top of each outlet or switch box into a basement or attic and rewire that way. Replacing lighting wiring in a ceiling without an attic above cannot be done without damage to the sheet rock. An alternative is to surface mount new wiring and boxes. This adds significant cost.


Can wet electrical wiring cause a fire?

Wetness, in itself, does not cause fire in contact with wiring. What can cause a fire is when water comes into contact with bare live conductors and there is enough water to provide an unbroken path to another conductor or conductive surface (usually anything metal). But even in this case if the wiring is done properly and otherwise undisturbed, breakers or fuses should provide adequate protection against fire.
