    hmm found out why the accord died

    When my accord died i found out that the problem was the coil and not the dizzy... my question is have any of you had problems with the big (oil filled) accel coil? Mine appears to be fried... after 2 days or so, and im sure i hooked it up right...

    Plug your stock one back in and go back to where you bought it and be like yah this is what happened. I wanna exchange it for a new one.

    Damn I don't see how you fried it. I never had problems with mine and I go to 7.5k + rpms

    Heat can kill it though, I'm pretty sure I read that on the instructions that came with it.
