I was doing the not so hard job of changing my plugs and wires. Everything seemed to go well. Here's a pic of my distributor cap and I numbered it so you can see how my firing order is.

Well when I try to start my jeep this is what happens...

You can see my battery hand just falling. The lights flicker too.

Any help??

check your ground. there are a couple in that area. make sure you did not break one

what it says in my 98 manual should this happen hold gas pedal to floor and try to start...worked once for me when that happened

Hate to sound dumb but what do you mean? Grounds coming from the battery or attached to the distributor?

mattphillips90

I tried that quiet a bit haha

ground on the engine block should be one on the coil bracket and a 2 or 3 near the dip stick tube hold down

id check them all, and were plugs gapped correct, wires fully seated on plugs?

mattphillips90

Oh alright thanks, Ill look around

Yea they were and I think so, I reconnected them a few times to make sure they clicked on there

Did you replace them all at once, or one at a time? I think you have them in the wrong place on the cap, but in the right order.
The diagram I have shows you have the order right, but # 6 is right next to the engine, and #1 is directly opposite.

Well my smart friend made a stupid mistake of just pulling the wires off the cap so I had to do them all without having a reference but dang that might be it. I looked at those diagrams quite a bit

jomps

id say that should just about do it then

jomps

them eyes still working good I see
