I was talking about the guy dropping the football...Urban Myer is a knucklehead too.
Urban Meyer did not go to OSU.
My wife's friend is good friend's with Urban and his wife. She works at OSU. Will see where all this goes.
By just leaving it open, that's a sure way to blow out the coil. When it is open, that high voltage has to go somewhere so it blows through the insulation inside the coil trying to find a ground. By grounding it, you don't have that issue.
I rented a room to a cousin. Besides almost flooding my house by letting a bathtub overflow, he didn't pay me rent for the last 6 months after he quit his job thinking he could get a better one.
yes
Typically, that's more of an issue with an older engine with a points distributor with a ballast resistor. Likely not an issue with your since its a newer engine but worth checking anyway.
Check your voltage at the coil in the run position.
You have electric fuel pumps on an 89? That is kinda odd since I don't believe they had them back then.
