Default spark issues

I have a 95 Civic that ran fine until today when I let a friend check the spark. I cranked the engine while he pulled the wire #1, it sparked and the car continued to run with only three wires connected. We discussed how well the car ran on only 3 plugs. He replaced the wire and I turned off the engine. He pulled wire #2 and I again cranked the engine it started we had spark but the car quickly died. He replaced the #2 wire and closed the hood. Just to be sure everything was fine, I tried to start the car again and now my car won't START!!! I have no spark but the engine tries to crank. What the heck happened? I can't figure out what went so terribly wrong with a standard process!

Any help would be great!!! Thanks.

What were you doing starting the engine without a spark wire connected? You got gas all over that plug and that's why it won't spark/fire. Congrats, you flooded a fuel injected vehicle.
