Default 450SL Died and won’t start



<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My wife started the 450SL the other day and it died after running for about 20 seconds. Its getting fuel, but no spark from the coil. I replaced the coil with a known good one, but still no spark. I ran a hot wire from the positive side of the battery to the positive side of the coil, ( maybe a bad idea, not sure )but still no spark. Any ideas? </FONT></P>

The ignition control unit could be a likely suspect.
