I wonder if the individual setting it up installed sufficient bypass capacitance...

It requires less than 1 mA to the igniter to fire the coil, so a little noise could definitely cause that.

How do you pop an engine by auto-igniting while cranking?
It's happening to some RX8 guys that can't adjust the dwell time.

It's a GM product, I'm obliged to have a poor opinion of them

The Quicksilvers are a stout coil. They light off some nasty mixes. I want to get Peters CDI kit and put them against the best of the inductives in a non water injected, lower RPM envirornment

Anyway, If you want a set to test, I may be able to get you one, but I will have to talk to my buddy (who bought the other 4) as to when he will need his.[/QUOTE]
