Ballast Resistor

I traced my engine cutout problem to a loose wire on the ignition coil's ballast resistor. The wire was just about hanging off and barely making contact. When I pushed the connector back on, I noticed the blade terminal sticking out of the resistor was wobbly, but the other one was firm. If this wobbly terminal is causing an intermitten 'disconnect' in the resistor, would this cause the engine to shut off? Would a faulty ballast resistor prevent the engine from running?

Thanks.
