What would cause a sudden increase in electrical usage in a home with no added electric devices?
Water heater. anything frost free, a bad thermstat if you have electric heat one possible thing to check is the service wire connection coming into the house at the meter base, corrosion on the contact lugs can cause excessive resistance/power usage.
What would make the water pressure in a house go above 80 psi?
Area water authority could have increased water main pressure, no or defective expansion tank in house main water line if house has a backflow preventer installed, or defective /not properly set pressure reducing valve.
Can you have too much water pressure in a residential house requiring a pressure release valve?
The water pressure in my house is about 140PSI. Which is definitely dangerous. It happens more often than you would think. What happens is a city will use water supply lines which are too small for the water requirements. Therefore, they have to increase the pressure. You wouldn't want a pressure relief valve, because then if the pressure was too high, it would just spray water everywhere to release the pressure. You would want a pressure regulator installed, which is what I am working on for my house right now. Just to let you know though, you may have to get a thermal expansion tank for your water heater if you don't have one. See, the new pressure regulators have a check valve in them, which prevents water from traveling back into the city pipes once it has gotten into your house. When your water heater heats the water, the air bubbles in it expand, which increases the water pressure, and will probably cause your pressure relief valve on your water heater to blow. You can get a cheap water pressure meter at any improvement store to check it out. 50-60 PSI is ok. I would say you could take it up to 70 or 80 PSI safely.
When it rains why would water run in from back of my basement?
all ground around your house should be sloped away from the house, my guess is that water running off the roof is hitting the ground and draining back toward the house. you can regrade the area or install gutters to divert the water away from that side.

If it's by well, pump not working properly, or at all. Municipal water could be water main break.

If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.

What causes sudden pressure surges in your faucets and refrigerator door water dispenser?
I would purchase a Watt water pressure guage from your local home improvement or hardware store and check your water pressure at your faucet. If water pressure is greater than 40-45psi your regulator needs to be turned down where the water comes into the house.
Could ignition cause sudden engine failure?
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
