First some background info. The hot wire to the coil was losing power after the truck started, which caused it to die. The guy who I took it to spliced into another hot under the hood and ran that wire to the coil hot, which works. The problem is when the switch is on, the connection(where he spliced into the other hot) gets hot and smokes. It has begun to burn the wire in to. Not good.

Can I just run a hot wire from the fuse panel to the coil? If not what can I do?
