I'd say he got the wiring wrong. I believe that the Accel coil I had
always used a resistor. Even if some versions don't require a resistor,
then they certainly wouldn't use one on startup, since this is when you
need the most current you can get throught the coil. This is because the
battery voltage is lower than it is with the car running (usually).
