The wire was old and flimsy. I have the Taylor wire from MSA. Yes I have the service manual. I changed the spark plug wire on my 77 280z and now the car would not start.
I first put the wire on wrong and then fixed it based on the diagram on my haynes manual.
The battery somehow got drain. I jumped it with my g35, have power and the car would not start. It crank, but nothing. Once I unhook the jumper cable from it, the car later loses juice. This time when I try to start it, I hard this big thump sound from the engine. I think see something slowly leaking from the intake, end up to be gas. Did the intake backfire? I heard this the other day when the car was running perfectly. I live in Minneasota and it was about 10 degrees today. Did the fact that I first plug the wire in the wrong order has to do with the drain battery? I'm new at all of this so thanks for the advice so far.
