89 no start

hello, i hooked up some jumper cables and took the coil wire from the dist. and left it loose on top of the dist. to see if i could here any popping spark sound, and it fired up and ran, put the coil wire on tight and would not run, then left it loose and it fired up and ran, there must be an answer for this one, moved it out of middle of drive way and parded it. went out in an hour and it fires right up but has high idle after warming up, i have also put in a ect., i will try a ecc next.

Sounds like you might have a short in the coil connection. It might be worth checking out...
