You would have a misfire and it may damage the coil if operated long enough in that condition.
none the resistance is in the wire not the timer
A thin and long wire made of a material with high resistivity, such as nichrome or tungsten, would have the greatest electrical resistance.
Self resistance is exactly what it sounds like it would be. It is the resistance that you make happen on your own.
Superconductor wire would have the least resistance. Superconductors have zero electrical resistance when cooled to very low temperatures, allowing for an efficient flow of electrical current without any loss of energy.
The ignition coil would only affect the spark to the spark plug(s).
current will increase
Metals are conductive, but are not perfect conductors and so they have some electrical resistance. How the resistance of the metal is affected by "thickness" depends on what you mean by thickness. If the electrical current has to flow through a longer piece of metal, then the resistance of the metal to electrical flow would be greater. However, if you take that same length of metal and increase the area of the metal by increasing its "thickness", then the resistance of the metal becomes less.
Back up generators
The filament in an incandescent light bulb resists the flow of electricity. Copper wire has relatively low electrical resistance, making it a common choice for transmitting electricity. Insulators, such as rubber or plastic, have high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electricity.
corroded/dirty connections
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
A long and thin wire made of a material with high resistivity and low conductivity would have the greatest electrical resistance. The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, so a long, thin wire will have a greater resistance compared to a shorter, thicker wire.
