Guys,
I am going to check the primary voltage again. I am supposed to see 12v and here is why. I left the ignition switch on while looking at the fuses and such and all of a sudden the coil started to smoke It got fried.

Fortunately the coil has a lifetime warranty at Oreilly's. Well I went ahead and installed the new one and guess what? It got so hot that shortly after it went up in smoke too At this point I am so F pissed that I wanted to hit it with a sledge hammer. I sat for a second and thought about the only electrical update I had done to it, the tach filter. A couple of days back I had to fix a broken wire and in order to do so, as it was so close to it's frame, I had to melt some of the rubber back plane, I welded the wire and got the tach working. So now, I disconnected the filter from the wiring harness and turned the ignition switch, the same fried coil remained normal and it did not get even warm. I wonder if that was the culprit.

Well I got me a third one from Advance, it was cheaper, so I guess that I will plug it in without the filter to see if it start to get hot.

I calmed down and started to analyze the scenario. Only 12v come into the coil and there is now way that more than that is been produced so it has to be a short of some sort, I don't know where. I checked the plug on the coil primary and there is just power on the expected side. 2) I need to have a pulse coming in as the ignition control module pulse will produce, what if I have a constant and no pulse, will it burn the coil? and 3) the filter I mentioned before.

Guys I have to admit that this is getting on my nerves and I am working on this issue while in a really bad mood and it doesn't help because I cannot think straight that way.

Deep breath, uhhmmmm, uhhmmmm.

Ok

Back at it.
