Smoked the ignition coil!

So, what are some root causes for frying a coil? Besides it possibly being just a cheap-a$$ coi?

Anything I should check out on the rest of the car before slap on a new one?


Had to have the car towed home. Stupid thing just cut out on me right in the middle of the road.

Mine did that too a couple years ago. Car just died and would start up. This was like 2 weeks after I'd got the car so I didn't know what the hell was wrong. Luckily my friend knows alot more about cars than I did back then. I had to get these two elderly chinese people to push me over to the side of the road so I could park it there for a few hours to go get a new coil.

I dont know why it went. It just did. But now you have a reason to nupgrade to an MSD. I'm assuming it was the stock coil?

you can cook your coil by having your ignition on and listening to the radio while making out with your babe
