Check the voltage at the coil if it any higher than 9 volts...then yes....any thing lower than 6 something is wrong. The wire that suplied Voltage to the coil for the 258 WAS the resistor. Just keep in mind anything over 9 volts will not be healthy for the coil...it will probibly burn up.
Hope this helps
