91 Buick Park Ave just replaced plugs, wires, coil. While changing coil, the blue wire that connects to three connections on that same "circuit" - cylinders 1-3-5, disconnected from the bottom part of the coil, from beneath the hardened "jelly" stuff. Now the car won't start. I pushed the blue wire back inside the gel hoping it might connect to whatever it separated from enough to work. Is this wire and the failure to start related? What can I do about the loose blue wire?

You bought a new coil and the wire came out of the epoxy? Replace the coil...
