Dedicated 12v to the coil is a must as you discovered a voltage drop will kill the electronic ignition op. OEM Volkswagen the only thing that was connected to 12v coil was the keyed ignition wire and the remote "Bakalite" fuse housing wire for the backup lights. Similar follies the time I couldn't get a fresh engine to run but would crank ok, finally in frustration I pulled the engine and took it to the builder, of course with much embarrassment, it started right up in an engine stand and I knew instantly what the problem was, a bad engine to chassis ground connection ...and so, we learn.
