Agree, with the break in the coil wire insulation, the HV may well arc to ground ( e.g. any part of the engine metal or even the coil casing), rather than going through the coil. That could well have damaged the output stage of the electronics.

Since you are a few miles away, I can share what to look for through our support so we can get this fixed for you.
