you couldnt have put the wires on wrong, they are pretty much idiot proof. is the engine turning over at all or just nothing happens when you turn the key?

I know that it can't be wrong plugging the wires on the spark plugs because they are numbered. I think i mess up on the other side where the cap is. I don't know if it matters on that side. The car engine did turn over, but won't starts, like whenit isout of battery.
Thanks man

if the battery is low/dead then that is a problem however if you got the wrong firing order on the distributor cap then it won't work that way either... Look for a mark Like an "A" with a circle around it on the distributor cap. That is the Number 1 Plug wire, the order going clockwise from there is 1-3-4-2
