Question

Check Engine light

Help! I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor on my 1995 300. When I went to start the engine for a test ride it failed to start because I did not connect the coil wire to the coil. attaching the wire solved the starting problem but now the Check Engine light comes on and stays on. I checked the plug wires and they are in the correct positions and the truck runs great. I disconnected the battery for about an hour to thinking that it would clear a code caused by the failed start but the light still comes on. I will have the codes pulled today to see what is stored. Any one have a problem like this before or know the cause.

prob computer is detecting a misfire make sure the wires are seated on the plugs and the cap all the way and make sure the boots aren't cracked or torn. it is possible to buy a bad set of wires
