No spark and i can only get 5V at the coil.

I dont think you were right in any case because you never actually gave any helpful information.

I work on 15 million dollar weapon systems when im on sea duty, and i can tell you right now I wouldnt move on in my trouble shooting until fixing the wiring that looked this bad. I hope to god if you come across wiring that looks like this did, whether its an airplane or a go kart you fix it before you move on. I say this mainly because alot of people get in deep to trouble shooting they forget to go back and fix these kinds of things until they cause another problem.

Haha. If you guys go straight to wiring to solve problems please don't ever do this for a living. Wether the wiring looked f-d up or not. I never said replace the parts. I said check them out. You always, always go to components first. After making sure everything is getting correct power to them. Which would take all of 2 minutes. Helpful is stopping you from pulling you out of the mess you were in by tearing wiring out. I work on much more than 15 mil worth a crap and have for over 20 years. I actually work for Nasa now. I hope I know what I'm doing... This is assuming you know the part is good after you check it out. You can spend a couple of hours and fix the car the right way or spend a week shooting wires that are just fine.
