Ok, so here's my limited understand of how the coil works.

It charges up, then when it sees a ground pulse on the firing side, it sends a spark down the HT lead.


Now, couple of questions.

If the ground stays grounded, what happens then? Im assuming that it will prevent the coil from charging, but will it damage anything?

If the +VE side was to be disconnected, what would be the effect? Now obvioulsy the coil would stop working, but how soon would it do so, would it still pulse on the next couple of cycles till it had run out of stored charge, or would the spark stop happen instantly?


CheeRS in advance
