coil burnt out?? need help

[.:Stirfry:.]

ok so i just swapped a built poor mans into a eg.
and i got everything hooked up and ran the same exact way i pulled it out. so when i go to first start it, i have it running for at least 5 mins. then i shut it off and doubled checked any leaks before i go take it out for a test drive. but so then right as i go to pull it out of my driveway it shuts off. i go to recrank it and i have no spark and the fuel pump isnt priming, so i pull the dizzy cap off and the coil is SUPER hot to the tuch?
and i know its burnt bc i took my coil out of my car and swapped it with the one frm the eg and i get nothing.

any ideas on why the coil would burn it self out??
:thinking::thinking:

if the fuel pump isnt primin why u checkin the coil?

[xdavidscenex]

also check timming. and check compression. and ecu fuse!!!
ECU FUSE
ECU FUSE
ECU FUSE that will cause no spark and no prime.

u dont have like a msd setup or anything.

Maybe its just me but that doesn't make any sense.:thinking:.... The Coils going to be hot, you just ran the car for 5 min. And you said you replaced it with a working one, and the car still won't start right??? That means it ain't the coil..

yeah i dnt understand why it would be ur coil...

so the fuel pump is not working?

id check your main relay.. u can jump the connector to see if the fuel pump actually turns on...

jump pin 5 and 7, turn ignition on and listen for the fuel pump

5 and 7 are on the bottom right 2 pins of the connector with the clip on the top..

He was able to fix it once he had some daylight to work in. it was the ECU FUSE. thanks sterlin!

Interesting...But that's good to know for future reference. I was researching this last night when yall left. Sorry that I didn't introduce myself.

its all good man, i had met you once a while back i believe.

[.:Stirfry:.]

ok at first the coil did burn out. or some odd reason. thats why im just as confused as yawll are. i took the coil that had burnt out and put it in my car and did the same thing, (which was not startin) then i put my coil back in (the good one and started up fine),
there was a short from one of the wires goin to the dizzy.

but after i fixed that problem the ECU fuse keeps blowin out?

[.:Stirfry:.]

bump why would the ecu fuse keep blowin out?

[xdavidscenex]

CHRIS WAS RIGHT :]

[xdavidscenex]

ecu fuse burns out because.. you have a positive wire hitting some metal or neg wire somewere on the car. why dont you ever call me for help?

[.:Stirfry:.]

i found the problem, it was the o2 wires groundin out on the rear crossmember/subframe .. weird
