My dodge was randomly dieing driving down the road. I decided to change my distributor cap for the first time. As i found out the distributor was all the way in the back extremely difficult to change. I unplugged the spark plug wires with out marking them. ( stupid ) Now im pretty sure i messed up on putting them back in. Now the truck wont start. I bought my truck from a friend and he didnt have a owners manuel. I was told this would help. Can you please help me out? I dont know what the cost of a mechanic to change it would be. And i heard its quite expensive.
