Default Sparkplug wires out of whack. ( Right order though. )

This is so fun..

So I put my spark plug wires in the right order. 1, 3 , 4 , 2

But car won't start now.

How many times...

Let me make sure.. 1'st piston starts going from the left then to right.

I might be stupid.

ok man... take a plug wire off but leave it still connected to the distributor, put a spark plug in it and let the threads on the plug be grounded to something bare metal on the car, such as a bolt for the radiator mount or some ****.

have your friend try and crank the motor, and see if the spark plug is sparking.

if its not, you got problems, somethings not plugged in, fried coil, screwed up distributor, bad ECU, could be a lot its up to you to find.

if it is sparking, you better go check a 4th time and get the wires on right.
