1995 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 133k miles

my car was running fine just a while ago and I was gonna change my spark plugs but decided not to leavin one wire disconnected from the plug accidently. I started it and it started but then bogged down and died. I tried to start it again and now it will not even try to start it cranks the starters working but the engine will not start. I tried eletric start. Push start. None of it even starts to get the engine going. What do youll think could be wrong. Did leaving the wire unplugged do something. And yes I did hook every thing back up perfect I only had one plug disconnected and its snapped back into place

You most likely fried your ignition coil. Check the resistance of the coil and if it is out of spec, replace.

Yes, measuring resistance of the coil is a good step. Also, using a test light or voltmeter, check all your fuses. If these are good, are coil ohms out properly, these cars had lots of problems with the igniter unit inside the distributor. These can be tested as well, by which time you'll be well on the way to acquiring valuable Honda tech skills.
