Default turned car on without spark plug all the way in..

Well i was checking my spark plug wire to my distribitor cap and after i checked it i didnt force the wire back all the way.. It was the second cylinder wire..

I turned the car on and it died suddenly, so i thought it was no biggy since i instantly knew what i forgot and nothing sounded loud when it died.. Just died like you stall your car softly..

I put it back in and now all it does it crank.. I cant think of anything but a bad distribitor cap or something.

Help me out.. thx

what do you mean by killed the plug? The wire of the plug on the distribitor cap?

i would also say the coil might be fried, as the spark had no where to go so shot back and fried the coil

It's just hard to find places that just sell the coil, try turning the crank to tdc.
