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??

Maybe its just me but that doesn't make any sense..... 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..
