Get a meter and check resistance. If the coil is shorted, as what you discribe, its no use anymore.

Basically inside there is wire wound in a coil protected by a plastic coating. It gets hot with the amps running thru it, it melts the coating of the wire and starts shorting out by arcing making your stuff run bad. Its usually intermittant.. Then it cools off and direct shorts one day and it wont start anymore.
