Subject:      alternator to ignition coil???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

Ive been having intermittent starting problems on my 87 digifant. today it died again at work and i didnt have my voltmeter with me so i decided to bridge a wire from the alternator to the ignition coil. the coil suddenly got power... so at least ive narrowed it down to the power supply to the coil.

my question: am i risking any kind of coil or ecu damage by driving home with the wire attached from the alt to the coil?

thanks,

jeff
