Re: [Chrysler300] Hot Coil

["George Riehl" <longrams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Terry;  If the ballast resister goes bad (burns out) the starter will engage (12+ volts) and turn the engine and it will start, but when the key is released, in the "run" position, the engine will stop running because no voltage is going to the coil in the 7.2 volt mode. Just like turning the key off. The only way to get the engine ro run is to connect the two wires to the resister togeather and run on 14.2 volts. The points won't last long, but can drive the car for at least 100 miles.

  Just a comment: might a shorted out ballast resistor, by always delivering 
  full voltage to the input of the coil, cause the overheating? McTaggart
