Question type: Maintenance & Repair

car started prior to changing the plugs and wires on 1990 Audi 100 and now it wont start. It is turning over but just cranks. I've done this many times and know the how-to process but I wanted to ask around before I mess something up even worse.

The firing order is 1,2,4,5,3. #1 on the cap is in the five o'clock position if you're looking at it from the front of the car. #1 on the block being the plug nearest the front of car. An auto parts store can print off a sheet better describing it. Good luck!
