I have a 1982 Chevy k 10 and the ignition coil keeps buring out. I have replaced it several times and it starts fine after replacement but then burns up within 15 minutes of running time and then the car dies. This problem started when the battery cable got caught in the alternator fan --- it was the negative cable to the barrery. Any ideas

This fuse powers the coils but also goes to the transformer capacitor. Trace the purple wire from the coils to find the capacitor. Disconnect the capacitor and test with an ohmmeter. The resistance should start at zero and climb to infinity. If not, replace the capacitor. If the capacitor is good, unplug all coils, put in a fresh fuse, and turn on the key. Check the fuse. If it burned, you have a short on the wire. If not, plug the coils back in one at a time, and check the fuse each time. If the fuse burns after plugging in a coil, replace that coil. Does this make sense?

I cannot explain why they keep buring up. However I discovered that there was a recall on volkwagen ignition coils from 2001-2003. You can get more information on it here.

Try replacing the ignition module Good luck.

replace the crankshaft position sensor, it will cure the problem.

you may have a bad duraspark ignition modual or a bad connection from the duraspark to your coil

Inside the distributor car, there is a device called the condenser coil. If your spark coil has shorted out, it may have sent a powerful surge through your entire system causing several items to burn out. The condenser coil looks like a small silver tube with one wire coming from it. It screws underneath the rotor button. Replace that and see what happens.

might need new spark plugs or wires. sounds like the coil is working too hard to keep it running.

sounds like u may have a bad ignition coil or pick up modual

recheck all of your connections,,,,then check your fusable links for being burned out.
replace as necessary
