I suppose this is a car component. The ignition coil could be burned due to high current flow through the primiry wiring for too long time (large dwell angle). If this is an old style mechnical point ignition system, check the point air gap for correct dwell angle. If this is a new distrubutor less system, the igniter should be checked.
I have had them fail due to heat. I used a certain dilectric grease on the underside to help dissipate the heat. If not heat, then possibly a poor ground.
The 1991 Blazer has a current draw causing the wire to burn. You will need to trace the wiring out to find what is drawing too much current.
You should check the pick-up coil, it can short out the modules. I have ran into this problem before and was a the end of my rope. I found a pamphlet at the auto parts store and read through it and came to the conclusion that the pick-up coil was shot, replaced it and never had to put another module in. Probably lack of die electric grease under the mounting surface of the module. This special grease keeps the module cool & lack of it could cause the module to overheat & burn out.
If it blows when cranking the starter has failed.
In my experience you must have voltage to the coil...it must be energized to sustain the engine current to work properly. this requires to have current from the ignition to the engine system. If there is no signs of current-voltage with the ignition ON - more likely it is interrupted at the switch. You may trace continuity on wires from the coil to the switch. check the fuse block to insure that no fuses are bad. You may fing a book on the used books store and locate the diagrams...you may search the net...they are there....keep an eye in the color code to ID the wires -they go from the engine compartment to the inside of the unit...I am assuming the that engine is not running. I am in Texas.
Make sure you have only about 8 volts going to it not a full 12. There is a resistor wire that should cut the voltage.
An ignition coil in a Chevy may keep burning out due to several factors, including electrical issues such as a short circuit or faulty wiring, which can cause excessive current draw. Additionally, overheating from prolonged use or poor ventilation can lead to premature failure. Other potential causes include a failing ignition control module or problems with the spark plugs, which can place additional strain on the coil. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve these underlying issues.
The ignition only needs 12 volts for starting. You`re wiring harness has a resistance wire or ballast resistor to drop the voltage to keep the ignition coil from burning up.
Hey Tia== Make sure they are replacing it with the correct coil. Then have them check the voltag going to the coil . It should be about 8 NOT 12volts. It has a resistance wire cutting down the voltage. GoodluckJoe
if water is getting on the coil pack. that will cause it to burn out.
If the ignition coil in a 2008 Ford Fusion keeps burning out, it could be due to several factors, such as a faulty coil itself, electrical issues like a short circuit, or problems with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition control module. Overheating caused by excessive voltage or poor connections may also contribute to the problem. It's important to diagnose the underlying cause to prevent repeated failures and ensure the vehicle runs smoothly. A thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to address the issue effectively.
There is a short somewhere in the ignition system causing the fuse to burn out. Start by replacing the ignition switch to see if that helps.
To properly maintain the ignition coil on your lawn mower for optimal performance, regularly check for any signs of wear or damage, clean the coil and surrounding area to prevent debris buildup, and ensure proper connections and grounding. Additionally, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and replacement intervals to keep the ignition coil in good condition.
No. The coil has to do with spark to ignite fuel inside your engine. There is probably something wrong with your ignition system or your starter.
Yes. Otherwise you will drain the battery through the ignition points, burning them out prematurely or even welding them together.
The coil on a X6 was burnt out and I ordered one that specified 53mm bolt spacing (XG is stamped on the coil), and it cranked and ran for about 2 minutes and when I cut it off it will not crank completely. It only sputters a little. I compared the intensity of the spark with another pocket bike that has a bolt spacing of 62mm and the 53mm coil does not have the same intensity of blue spark. I tried moving the coil around and it does make a difference but still will not crank completely. In fact the armature scrapped the bottom of the coil which may have damaged the coil. I assume there is an electronic circuit inside the coil and that may be the problem. I tried changing the carb, but the problem appears to be the coil.
Faulty coil pack or crap leads. try qulity leads first paying attention to detail as how you fit them is important. if all else fails coil pack is at fault.
