I havent worked on my car in a few months, went down to finagle with it and noticed this...

Since then, its rained non stop, car's sitting outside... No bumper/headlights, and its been below freezing. Its also the closest coil to the front of the car...get what I'm saying? I think one scenario might be, water seeped in there some how and it froze?

Or... When I rewired my ignitor, I messed up somehow, and blew it up with my infinite stupidity.

need to make sure that pack isnt getting constant signal. i accidently grounded a signal wire once and it caused me to blow a coilpack. so i would check and make sure the signal wire isnt grounded for that plug
