Can someone describe the science behind a "rise in EGT" when we lose a= single coil.  I would have expected a drop in EGT due to less thoroug= h burning of the mixture and therefore excess un-burnt fuel which I th= ought would provide cooler temps of the exhaust stream as it pass= es the EGT probe.
 
Must be missing something very basic here...
 
Thanks for any clarity!  :)
