What engine size? What coil are you referring to? You're not giving enough detail.

Its a 1.8, the frame coil, the one that connects to the ignition. I just fixed a bigger coil and am still observing it. Thanks

what made you conclude that the coil pack is burnt and also when you say you fiited a bigger one what do you mean

i think thats a wrong move, the issue is not about the coil pack failing to fire the right voltage but burning

when you scan after it burns what does the scan say ?

Make sure that the earth connections from your car's battery negative to body and engine are well connected and there is no rust on the connections then replace with original coil.

I think the seal might be weak that's why there are leaks but since it shakes in gears 2 and 3 u might need to check your gear box
