Unknown at the moment. A yellow spark is not good.

The first thing I would do is be sure there is enough voltage to the coil.

Take a voltage reading across the battery posts. Leave the probe on the battery ground then take voltage reading at coil +. Use a jumper wire if necessary.

You will test the ground side of the circuit as well as the voltage at coil + this way.

Have the points open or disconnect the wire at coil - so the coil does not get fried (or fried further?) while testing.
