It would seem that the wire that is grounded all the time is touching or cut by something causing a short to ground. Until you locate the short circuit it will either smoke the coil or cook the hot side supply to it. I would guess a good place to start would be the ign module and back to the PCM .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hanky
