Car Dies?

[Sunkenkarma]

Hey Everyone, I just replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires on my jeep cherokee 4.0 I6 about a week ago. So Today im coming home from work and the car just dies, so i pull over, try to crank it and it just keeps trying to turn over. I get out, pop the hood and check to see if all the spark plug wires are on tight etc. i try a few things, and it doesnt work. so then I push in the coil wire a little more than it was, try to crank the car and it starts. I got about a 1/4 mile down the road, happens again and I do the same thing, happens 4 more times on the way home. I get home, put the old coil wire back on, drive up the street, and it still happens.

Wtf? I dont know what it could be? any help would be appreciated.

why does the coil wire keep coming out ? That would be a good starting point...

its not coming out, but if I push on it, the car will start.

sounds like the coil may be bad

I hope not, how much do those run for?

Duralast / Coil - Ignition, 29.99 sound right?

if not try the wire first thats cheaper could just be a bad wire, since u did just replace them and it didn't do it until then?

Is everyone on here a moron?

He has spark plug wires. Not coil wires.

Pull the plug back out and/or make sure it is fully seated in the block.

Are you sure you put ALL the wires on correctly?
