Found my problem... this is just wierd

Dunno what this means or how to fix it, but my car has been having this 'sluggish' idle problem. Via a timing light found out that my timing is jumping around and misfiring all over the place. SOO.............. the wierd part..

Everything works fine if i pull the L1 lead off of the ignitor and let the spark jump from ignitor to lead. My idle increases, my car stops sputtering and idleing like ***, and best of all my timing stablizes!!

What the HELL would cause this??

So randomly everything works. Cant explain why.. but i unplugged the trailing ignitors and it ran like *** still. Then plugged them back in.. still ran like ***. Then started the car one more time and everything magically works.

Thanks jesus
