Got my dohc swap done and everything working bleed the coolant and drove the car around the block. Everything worked fine and the car was running grate but still overheated a little so i pulled it back into the shop and re-bled it. Went to start the car back up a few minutes later and wasnt getting any spark. Put the test light on an im getting power into the coil but nothing out.

Im guessing that it has gone bad but why? What could of happend in that 15 minutes to make it go bad? Just want to make sure i dont put another one on and blow that one to.

Possible, but improbable. Check you coil's grounding.
