Computer controlled engines are extremely vulnerable to EMPs. Read "one second after". Congress held hearings on this with the military saying it is one of the worst threats the US faces right before 9/11 eclipsed it.
- graycat 4y agoA LOT of things are vulnerable to EMPs! Sooooo, US military vehicles don't use computer controlled fuel and ignition in the engines??? Hmm ...!

Due to the inverse square law, the flux drops off rapidly unless you're close to the explosion. And if you're close to the explosion then you have other problems.
