Okay so I bought a 93 Ford Mustang LX a few weeks ago. I just changed the alternator and my spark plug wires. Yesterday I changed my spark plugs. I made sure they where all gapped right at .044, and they are all in properly. Now however my car will not start unless you hold the key forward in the on position, as soon as you let go it shuts off. I have dual coil packs on my car. I think I might have messed up one of the distributor caps when I pulled one of the spark plug wires. Would that cause this problem to happen?
