Please help. My battery died the other day and I ended up using a standalone charger on high cycle to start my car and leave it run to charge the battery back up. Apparently it was to much stress on electrical components as the next day I smelled something burning and lost one of the cylinders. Turns out my ignition coil had a melted spot on it right near where #1 spark plug cable comes out. I have replaced the ignition coil yet it is still not firing. Cable and spark plug are both fine so I'm thinking its a problem with the power being supplied to the ignition coil now. What should I all be looking into as to diagnose where the problem now lays? Fuzes or maybe other cables or connections? I'm not exactly familiar with how and from directly where the power is supplied to the coil. | | | 01-18-2014, 11:55 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Pray you didn't damage the DME ignition igniters... | | | 01-20-2014, 02:22 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Bethlehem, PA Posts: 1,106 | Would you need to replace the DME if that is the case? or something else, I am interested in this thread as I might be in the same situation. (waiting on the new coil pack and plugs but the cylinder has a misfire after the DME was wet, shorted out and made my gauges go crazy at startup along with a few dead batteries and bad start ups) __________________ Check out our new website! https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/ Green Your Decor with the Aspect!

You can get another DME used for $100 with EWS and Key and just fool the EWS to use the replacement DME. You would still use your original key for ignition and doors.
