Is it possible to fry an ignition coil by plugging the ignition wires
in the wrong order? I'm running out of ideas out to why my car won't
start since I changed the ignition wires. I accidentely pulled out
all the old ones at the sametime instead of replacing them one by
one. I tried figuring out where they plugged into the distrubutor cap
was probably wrong several times until I bought a TDC whistle. I'm
pretty certain they are in order now since I know the firing order and
which way the rotor turns. This is a 1981 BMW 320i if that makes a
difference. Thanks!

could be the wires don't match the plugs,
might need knurled tips on plugs; or
you have disconnected the primary
wires on coil; do you have spark on
any cylinder?
