Just got the car back out tonight, ran good for about 10 minutes. shut it off to get gas and when i started it back up it was only running on 5 cyl. after a bit i noticed the coil pack smoking and melting right at #6. Any one ever seen that before?!? Plugs and wires are brand new (autolite 23's and russ meritt's). Anyone know what those wires should ohm out to? Any ideas on what could cause this? Anyone recommend a good HO coilpack?
Melted coilpack ?!?

Don't think you are dealing with bad wires, or coilpack problem.
More than likely a continual ground (like a "short" in the module) or somehting like that.
Give Jason Cramer of RJC Racing a call. He's been working on a special coil pac that might just do the trick for you.:smile:

Did you open it up & see if its all GOOP inside? If so thats whats causing it!
Yep, its goop now... 
Could anyone see the ESC module (not the ign module under the coil pack) cause this? I will be checking the new ign module with the test light method before I put back on the new coil. Since the coil smoked with the car on engine off, if the problem still existed with a new module then I should see the test light stay on when connected to each pair of wires on the top of the ign module instead of it being off and only flashing when the motor is turned over. Does that sound sane?
