[QUOTE="brandon mena, post: 550556, member: 62609"] Tom is right. I had an old Chrysler with an upgraded Accel performance racing coil amongst many other things. Well one day the key didn't want to shut it off. Being 17 at the time and thinking I was a big dog mechanic, I said, "Hey guys, watch I can shut it off. I'll just kill the ignition coil." :blink: Well I pulled the coil wire off and it felt like a thousand hammers hitting my entire arm and chest like a thousand times a second. After about 3 seconds I was finally able to let go, jumped back, and sat down for about 5 minutes. That packed a wallop, I'm just glad I didn't get hurt. So guys, play it safe and don't touch a running coil. I had done it before too but that was the last time. [/QUOTE]
