Well, i've bought a new battery yesterday..

72A, 450 cranking amps..

cranked the car after i've installed it, everything worked great...

today, i was cranking my car, and it didn't start !

after a short check, i've found out that my igniter is gone..

can it be related to the battery?

i think i'll order the hks dli... it's the second igniter that's gone now.. and i'm sick of the stock ones...

on the way some splitfire coilpacks

I highly doubt it was the battery. Check to make sure that all positive connections are covered and well insulated from grounds. A battery short can easily fry an ignitor. Also you might want to check your wiring again if this is the second ignitor. Maybe its getting constant power when it shouldn't be

the first time something happened on your part(error), it could have blown a fuse. If for some reason you did it again, its gonna fry something
