Afternoon.
Here’s my crappy story.
1.Just went on drive to grab donuts, returned to car didn’t want to start, seemed flooded.
2. Waited a couple minutes, still wouldn’t start.
3. Waited again, nothing this time, no sound when turned key
4. Opened hood, jiggled a few wires, and battery cables. Then it started right away.
5. After 5 minutes of driving smoke coming from hood, pulled over immediately and opened hood, battery was on fire. Called 911, fire dept arrived quickly, fire stopped just as they arrived. They pulled the cables for me. So sitting on side of the road waiting for tow driver.
I did just install a new cap and ignition coil. Could the ignition coil be the culprit?
Thanks!
