J, The coil wire doesn't usually go bad and if it does it is generally corrosion at one of the ends. I wouldn't pull the wire with the engine running, you can have as much as 50,000 volts there. You could use a very well insulated set of plug wire pliers but with the cd type ignitions the spark can jump a long ways. If the 2 wires are touching to the distributor that would cause the engine to quit.

ps. The tank vent is located on the top front passenger side of the tank. It should have a hose up to the filler.
