Default wont start after plug and wire change...

firing order is 1,3,4,2 right? and cylinder one is the closest to the front so....what the hell happened here? all i did was change the wires and plugs, and now it wont start... is the firing order still wrong, or did the ignition module go on me...?

did you hook them on the distributor in the right spots.... i never had a distributor 2.3L, only EDIS system. i think #1 was closest to you and the right when looking at it.... not 100% positive though.

Was the egnie at TDC? and is your timing firing on the compression stroke or the other stroke(s)?
