Agreed. Need much more information in order to be able to help. However in my experience assuming the car was running fine before you did this the most common reason your car won't start after you changed the spark plugs and leads is that you put the wires back on incorrectly. Check and make sure you got the firing order right and go from there. If that's not it, take some time to tell us what car you are working on, some background information, what parts you used, why you changed them, etc. Hard to flow chart a path forward based mostly on the statement "no help" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Give us details please
In general any problem on any car is mostly related to the last thing that was touched |

I'll take "knocked the negative off the coil for $100"
Shoot, I see that must be what superhawk added. |

You can have that one Emery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I cheated by implying could be either positive or negative. Imma’ gonna’ go all in on the daily double. I’ll take the rare, but frustration inducing, “I left the key ‘On’ for an extended duration and burned out the Pertronix” for $1000 please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) To the OP whom I just realized is relatively new: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) hopefully doesn’t take this the wrong way and doesn’t mind us having some fun.
