You'll notice ignition problems. It might break up under heavy load or at high rpm. Might be slow to start or get going.

Yes, the coil isn't tied to the starter, as in when the coil brakes the starter won't work.

Mine still partially worked after crapping out. I had an digital 6 however. It made matters even more confusing, as I could not put my finger on the problem.
