I put my car back together recently. I think everything is as it should be. Yesterday I started it and it ran for like 10 seconds and then died. I wasn't able to give it gas cause I wasn't fully seated in the car.
Today when I got in the car the generator light was on. I started it and it ran for like 30 seconds then died. The gas pedal seemed unresponsive. Now it will crank but makes no signs of sparking. I'm only getting 7.5 volts on the + side of the coil with the ignition on. |

Address your low voltage at the coil issue. What is the battery voltage measured at the battery posts?
7.5volts with ignition on is way too low. When you crank the voltage at the coil will drop even lower and won’t spark with enough intensity. |
