I asked someone to switch out the plug wires and distributor cap for me. Instead of leaving the wires in and marking the location on the distributor, they pulled everything out and were then unable to put the wires back in. I found a firing order for the wires, and I am pretty sure I followed it correctly, but my car will now not start. It tries, but wont turn over. Is there a clear diagram someone with little car knowledge can follow to make sure the wires are in the correct order? Most of what I found just shows on the cap, and says not to pull the other end so they do not get mixed up. What if its too late for that.
