Maybe you fried the ignitor or coil since there was no place to discharge the high voltage with the spark plug cable removed? At the least, cylinder got flooded with raw fuel and won't pop, causing your starting problem, but unlikely.

well how much does a coil cost...and is it hard to put in...I did take the plugs out and they were soaked..they were **** anyway so i got new NGK's anyway..I was told i might be able to take the battery cable off, take the ECU fuse out let it sit for a min and try again..? any truth to that...thanks
