I was doing check ups on my car today. So I took out one of the plugs from my distributor cap and it started sparking so I put it back in and then the car started dying out to a complete halt. After that I've been trying to start the car with no success. It will just crank and crank. Can you please help me? The only way of transportation, thanks.

It may be the coil wire you ut and it may have broken use an ohm meter and check it 5000 ohms per foot then use dielectric compound and make sure they are in all the way as well as the dist cap.
