Re: IML: 56 Ignition Problem



The bad coil happens from either old age like the rest of us, or from too much current by bypassing the ballast resistor for an extended period, such as driving a "hot wired" car. Since our cars are old, and have been through a lot of strange encounters, its hard to say exactly what happened.

A new coil, and a quick check of the wiring to be sure everything is hooked up correctly should cure the problem. I won't add more since the rest of this has already been discussed (extensively).

Well I certainly hope that fixes it for you. Strange that the coil would be fried, a bad condenser should not damage the coil. A good coil will act like it's bad if the condenser is not working but will work fine again once the condenser is replaced.

Have a good evening
