Not sure what is causing it but I have replaced the two coil packets several times every time the one on the right heats up to the point of melting. I have tried everything. Okay thanks, yes it is getting too much voltage just cannot figure out why.

Hello,

I would start by checking the alternator for charging with AC voltage. You can do this with a volt meter at the battery switched to AC voltage, it should have none with the car running.

Please run this test and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Cheers, Ken

I have seen this as a result of a failing ECM, It triggers the coil but without the proper voltage regulation. Makes the coil act like an arc welder.
