Pulled coil wire fixes idle???

watch these videos of this kid...How can pulling your trailing plug wire, allow it to arc to the Master cylinder and this fixes his surging idle...

Plerase someone tell me how ...or what..
I think his TPS is out of range, hence it runs so poorly.

I don't know, this is not me.

what would any of that you have said, have anything to do with pulling the coil and arcing it and thus makes the engine smooth out..?

I am with you. I just want to know, why it fixed his problems.

I saw crappy idle and hardly reving correctly. He pulled the wire, allowed it to arc, replace the wire and Bingo it ran perfect...How in this crazy world???????????

Come on...I have building RX7s since 1993 and never seen such things..

I'm thinking his throttle plates were stuck open a little bit and when he removed spark it lowered the idle, and it smoothed out.

Or not.

Honestly, probably a bag spark plug wire and just fooling with it made conection again.
