Default Coil ground cable not connected????

While removing my right cam cover, I notice that my right coil ground cable was not connected.

My car was running a little bit rought on idle when warm.
Could this be the problem or what else this could do to the car performance?

Thank you.

I'm surprised it is only running "a little bit" rough. Mine ran like crap with a loose ground. shine it up, tighten it and see how it runs.

I'm in the middle of my intake and valve covers R/R so I will have to wait a little bit before I can start the car again!

Everyting else is new (coils, cap, distributor, wires and plugs) so maybe that's why it is not running very rough.

I found mine disconnected but there is another ground so I'd be surprised if it caused you a problem.

Yea, my driver side was disconnected for months after I first bought it until I found it...no difference after connecting it. I guess because the block and other coil was grounded.
