tonite i changed my plugs, wires, rotor, cap when i finished, the car wouldnt start unless i held the gas down, only ran at like 200 rpms - not good

not sure what the problem could be but in order to get to the rotors retaining screw, i cranked the car a few times without the cap on or the wires/plugs. (like a moron)

could that have done some damage? any idea if this is a timing problem or if i did some real damage?
