93' Altima No spark

My car had been sitting for about 8 months as a spare. Now when I try to start it, it wont. It turns over but wont fire up. I pulled the plug wire that goes to the distributor to the coil to test the coil. One end plugged into the coil and other end open. I placed a screwdriver at the open end and had someone turn the engine to see if it sparks. No spark while the engine is turning but as soon as you stop turning the engine it lets out one spark and thats it. Is this a bad coil???

sounds like a bad coil, also check that all wires that plug into the coil are in good shape and tight.:2cents:
