2005 will not start after changing spark plugs and wires, not sure if the wires are in the correct order any ideas?

Carefully check your routing and make sure that all spark plug wires are attached to the correct spark plugs otherwise your firing order will be mixed up and cause the issue you are having. Also make sure that the wires are firmly seated on the coil packs or distributor, whichever is on your vehicle.

very good but did you check that the no1 piston was on tdc firing before you replaced the distributor . You may be 180degrees out on the firing order.

yep you make sure you spark plug wires are good and in the correct order!

I would try making sure spark plug wires are put on in the correct firing order. This is a common mistake in tune ups. Most intake manifolds have the firinging order cast in. Plug gaps correct? I cant come too far away.

Make sure you gapped the plugs and make sure you have the firing order correct. If all the wires were removed at the same time, having them out of order is highly possible. Last, make sure the coil wire as well as electrical connections are in place around the coil. it's something you forgot or missed. check

check your plug wires they may be grounding out. If you just did a spark plug change make sure the wires were put back in the correct order. Also it could be that your timing is off.

if you noticed no spark you must have maybe put the plug wires on wrong this happens you need to get the firing order and trace that down, make sure all wires are put in correct order, Is it turning over, you didn't say mayber more details would be good.

HI. There are several areas of concern here. I will list them below. Check all areas stated in the list for faults.

Possible cuases:

1. Incorrect firing order set. On the 2.0, 2.4 and 2.7 engines. These engines are equipped with a distributor-less ignition system. This system incorporates a coil pack assembly, along with wire sets. In order for the assembly to fire correctly, the order of the wires must be set to the proper sequence. if not, the engine will not turn over, or start correctly. Make sure your firing order is correct, and make sure you have not placed a particular wire set into the wrong cylinder. I will post a picture of the correct firing order for your engine, below this list, shortly.


2. Incorrect spark plug gapping procedure. If the new spark plugs were gapped incorrectly, this will not allow for proper spark, thus, preventing optimal combustion, due to lack of fire. Check the spark plug gap using a wire gap gauge, and adjust if necessary. The gap should be 0.039-0.043 in. (1.0-1.1mm)

3. Failed coil pack assembly. This will be the worst case scenario. The coil pack supplies the necessary current that fuels each plug. The current is transferred, via wire sets.This will be the culprit if all the above areas are proven to be operational, and in good shape.

4. Failed wire sets. Replace the wire sets if faults are found at the connector at the ignition coil pack, or at the plug boot.



NOTE*
In order to provide the correct firing order for your engine, i will need the engine size and liter information, if possible. Please post this information, asap. Thanks..

Make sure the part store gave you the correct plugs and wires. Consult a third source for a firing order.

Check your spark plugs and wires. Ensure they are all correct coming off of the distributor cap. You may wanna even change them (plugs, wires, and cap) just to make sure they are all in good working condition and you put them all on in the correct placement/order.
