BTW, start with the resistor under 1000 ohm and use 0.1uF. This should result in kHz range. Make sure that the duty cycle is low, maybe around 10%. I kill some 555 when I run it at low frequency.
I think joined input and output leg on car coil is not the one at fault for damaging 555. It should only made my 3055 slightly warm and the 555 stay moderately cool. The resistor got very hot though. use 2 Watt version of resistor for the transistor / MOSFET.
