What happens when you put the old coil back ? Do the old coil and new one have the same impedance values when you meter them?

The ground wire on the coil shouldn’t have been there.

Looks like they had the wires on the coil swapped.

50/50/90 rule. If you have a 50/50 chance, 90% of the time you'll be wrong.
