Default 95 Civic Ex Wont start In CarThief Haven

I got a 95 civic ex, stock.
Just bought the car a few days ago, ran fine, the ignition was busted after I bought (can still start with the key).

Had the car started and idle when I was checking the spark plug wires , pulled them 1-by-1, then when pulling the 1st wire out another one got pulled out as well, this caused the car to bog, then die out.
I was certain that this is normal. To my surprise it wouldnt start after that, only will crank.

Only changed the spark plugs so far, doubt it's the ignitor, called dealerships said the havent sold one for a fix it problem in over 5-6 years, thinking it might be coil or something else with the ignition.

Please help as soon as you can, car parked in a crooked neighborhood at friends house, everyone drives civics with different color bumbers, and stolen rims

Thanks you

maybe it's just flooded with fuel, just like when you hydrolock just wild guess.

nah its not flooded... id double check the wires and make sure they are WHERE they are supposed to be and also make sure you have good metal connections to the spark plugs. I know cheap wires can easily be broken when pulling them out like u were..

Changed 2 different set of spark plug wires

Fuel pump is active and fine

No spark what so ever,

Im guessing it might be the coil or one of the wires might be dead running to the dizzy, if someone agrees, please help me find which certain wire off the dizzy to test with a 12volt meter.
