You could have a hose blown off of the bottom of the intake. In which case you will have a lean condition and no idle. By loosening the fuel hose, you will lower the fuel pressure on one side of the distributor diaphram and cause a rich condition compensating for the lean. I would look for an air leak, broken or blown off hose.
