[DML] Re: Won't start after ballast resistor wire broken

["twinenginedmc12" <twinenginedmc12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

It sounds like defective ignition wiring, or a defective ignition 
coil to me.  Either way, it will be cheap to fix, once you figure it 
out.  If it were my car, I'd be checking the wiring for resistance, 
end to end, and buying a cheapo generic ignition coil, just for 
testing.  Good luck.

Rick.
