coil is shorting out , replace the coil.
There shouldn't be any difference in the wiring. The hot wire from the switch goes to the + side of the coil, and the pigtail wire from the points goes to the - side of the coil.
Assuming you have an older vehicle with points, the wire from the distributor goes to the neg side of the coil.
To wire the coil in a Mercury Bobcat: The + terminal goes to the "run" prong on the ignition switch. The - terminal goes to the points and condenser. The middle terminal (the one with the fat wire coming out of it) goes to the center post on the distributor. This is how you wire the coil in any car that has points and condenser. The Bobcats that are little construction machines have diesel engines in them, so there's no coil at all.
assuming it is a older car with points the distributor goes to the negative side of the coil
need a new coil or coil wire if you are getting power to the coil
could be.... coil ... coil wire or... pick up coil.. not working
coil, wire, ignition control module
Many possiblities. It depends on if you have a coil or an HEI ignition. If you have a coil, check your distributor to make sure your coil wire is attached properly. If your coil is attached, unplug it from your distributor and hold it close to the connection while someone cranks your engine. If you do not see a spark, your coil is bad. If you do see a spark, your rotor might be bad, or your points.
Check to see if your getting 9.5 volts to the coil hot wire if so, the coil is faulty due to broken windings internally.
The coil is inside the distributor. There is no coil wire.The coil is inside the distributor. There is no coil wire.
yes coil is a type of wire
If the unit has points and condenser,it will be under the flywheel.If it does not,then its a coil,and that is mounted above where the spark plug goes,just follow the plug wire as its attatched to the coil..
