Have you checked the power transistor?

Actually, I think it could be the ECU, since the ECU triggers the transistor, which in turn fires the coil. If the power transistor is shorted - or held to ground - it would bleed the coil off.... as resistance.... before the coil could load.

I may be wrong because I haven't seen it happen.... but I suspect it could happen.
