So as the heading suggests, I installed a new coil today. I installed an Ice ignition performance coil. Wired up exactly the same as the stock coil, as close to a plug and play as you could get.
I started it up for the first time and it was great, fired up easily and was running noticeably nicer than before.
I was super chuffed, so I left it to idle for a while and warm up before taking it for a drive. Then all of a sudden a couple minutes later it died suddenly.
I started it again, fired right up then died again instantly when I gave it a rev.
Started it again, fired right up and let it idle, kept running for probably 30 seconds.
Started again, and it did the same again.
This happened probably 6 times and then it was dead for good. Will crank no problem, has fuel, but will not start.
Battery is fine, fully charged, it's getting fuel.
Power to coil is seeing 11.6V to 10V. I thought it would be 12 considering it is a 12v coil that I replaced.
I hooked the coil up to 12v straight from battery and that didn't change anything either.
Then I thought I would return it to stock, put in the old coil, sadly that didn't fix anything. It still will not start, not even a cough or splutter.
I'm wondering if I've killed my distributer? My guess is the coil is fine because putting the old one in didn't change anything.
Any ideas?
