Default Replaced plugs now no spark

So I replaced my old plugs and wires with oem NGks and Magnecore wires. I am getting no spark now. I mean nothing at all. I gapped them at 28 and I triple checked the wiring order. What the hell?

check all the connections, broken wire? loose connection? and did you try to put the old ones back on to see if they worked?

something must be disconnected But BTW the correct gap on the spark plugs should be 0.032. Also what was the part # on the NGK's

Yea I just tossed on the old plugs and wires and still nothing. Is it possible I shorted something. I mean engineer I just disconnected the battery pulled the plug wires and the plugs. And even if my gap is wrong, it should still give me something, right?

WTF?

Grab onto the plug... that will tell you if any juice is going through it.

Ok, I got the car to start. I remembered I have constant electrical issues and decided to jump the battery. It worked, but now when I turn on my headlights the car acts like it is about to die for a quick second (lights dim, car bogs down, etc). I guess i'll post this in another thread.

Thanks all.

Check your grounds bud! If all your grounds are good, take the alternator to Autozone and get that bitch tested.

Ok I will, but I know it's not my alt, cause I replaced it last year.

Thanks Sebba, all.
