Just got my DSII running. The original module was bad. When I plugged in the new module (thanks Jack) it fired right up even though the timing was super retarded. I adjusted the timing to 10* advance then set the idle back down and took it for a quick spin and what a difference. Immediate response on throttle and it idles so smooth I can hardly tell its running.
Now for the sort of part.
After my spin I was getting out my tester to check the idle. The car was still running and I heard a loud POOF. I turned around and there was oil all over the side of the engine, the fender, under side of the hood, everywhere.
Closer look it was the coil. Brand new MSD Blaster2 had blown it's top. The entire top of the coil is now about 1" out of it's case. interestingly enough the car never never skipped a beat and was still running.
Luckily I did not have my face under the hood when it popped. The oil and coil were very HOT.
Can someone tell me what would cause this??
Should I have run the hot leg through the ballast wire, although all of the posts say to by pass it?
