hi, i just went to clean the plugs on my car and i thought i might as well change the wires as well and i went to put them back on and i didn't remember how they went. The cap has a mark where the #1 wire should be and i have tried starting it a few times and i have no idea whats going on. it farts a little but will not start? I never touched anything else. any ideas as to what i can do. ? thank

What did you clean your plugs with ?

i just used to sand paper. two of the plugs were new so they didnt need anything but 2 are kinda shoty. and one of those 2 plugs is worn down pretty bad. but i think it should still start since it drove to the spot i took them out at. Thanks

What all did you actually remove/loosen ect.? And what exactly is it doing? Anything when you crank it besides chug?
Sounds like timing, assuming the two bad plugs are not just bad. Change cap and rotor as well?
In all seriousness spark plugs are like 89 cents each get 4 new. Your just askin for a choppy fire two new two 'cleaned'.

yeah i went and got two more new plugs and the car started. it is still running not 100% but i think that is because the firing order was all backwards for a while when i was trying to figure it out and the plugs were getting really carboned and dirty. all i removed was the wires and spark plugs nothing else. but i got it now i know i have the firing order in the right way and everything. I wish i was still driving my Celica its off the road now and this car im working on is a hyundai and that is probbly the problem right there. haha.
