Default 91 jetta, won't start after coil wire accidently hit chassis

earlier today i was doing a compression test on my 1.8L 8v jetta, afterword it wouldn't start. the only thing i can think of is the coil wire dangling and smacking the chassis. would that fry or ground anything?> nothing else happend. car ran when i did the test and now i have no spark afterword. ideas anyone?

BTW voltage at the coil wire when cranking is 12v. basically juice goes into the cap and does not come out.
