I am not sure what caused the problem, but like others have said here, it probably is not the coil. Probably best put your original coil back in and find the problem.
A note about Bosch coils. Most of them have built in ballast resistance, if you bought a coil off the shelf, it most likely does not have built in resistance. You must purchase a separate ballast resistor and place it in-line on the ignition wire. I believe the resistor should have 1.2 to 1.9 ohms of resistance.
