The other day, I started my truck, which was in my front yard. She fired right up, even though it had'nt been started in about 2 weeks. I pulled the truck into the driveway so I could be closer to my toolbox. No problems. I changed out the antenna for the stereo, as the old one had broken off. The old wire was in there really tight, I gave it tug, but not that hard. It would'nt come out, so I left it in place, and installed the new one. Now, engine turns and turns, but she will not start. (5 gal. Gas in tank). What color wires should I be looking for in case I might have pulled one loose by mistake? Please help, as this is my only means of personal transportation.

First thing to check would be if you still have spark.
Then check for fuel.

Try to follow the antenna wire, and give it some pressure like when you pulled on it, and see if it pulls on any other wiring harness.
