You will have to create a curve normal to the surface where your coil ended. If you want to make a complex coil following a curve you will first need to make a variable section sweep, then you can make a sweep blend after that. I have attached a picture of a bent coil. Is this what you are trying to do?

See the thread about twisted wires. you'll need to use a VSS (Variable Section Sweep).
