Possible Coil Failure

Jim,

I recently had somewhat similar problems with my A-4 and sure enough it was as you suspected, the coil. It appears that the electronic ignition is the thing that seems to cause these coil failures. Your original comment indicates that you were able to restart you engine. How much time would you have to sit before it would restart? If it was immediately then maybe not the coil.

When my coil failed I could restart my motor after about 15 or 20 minutes. It would run for maybe a half hour before doing it again. During these periods my coil would be to hot to touch. (actually hotter than the engine)

I think there is alot of information on previous posts about this coil issue. I fortunately had the original oil filled coil to replace the bad one but I think it may start happening again. I think the consensus is if it is your coil that if you replace it with a 4 ohm oil filled coil that should do it.
