It's strange that it works when you have it out and quits when you put it back in. As mentioned I'm wondering if the pick-up is shorted to the case? Or if there is a wire in the harness to the ECM from the dist that has an intermittent open in it and connects when you have the dist. raised.

It will be very interesting to see if the rebuilt dist. will cure the problem.
