Default Won't start

93 626. I was checking my spark plug wires, and started my car without putting one back in. Car started but shut off quickly. Now it won't start. Any help would be appreciated.

Try resetting the computer: disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Then step on the brake. The brake light circuit will drain all remaining voltage from the computer and this resets it.

Didn't work could it be because the wires are bad. 2 of them came apart a little. I thought it should still start just misfire but I could be wrong. I tried the reset thing it didn't help. It still trays to start, the starter does anyway

Most definitely it could be the wires. It could be worse because you let the wires go that bad. Maybe you burned up the coil, maybe you fried the computer. Go from inexpensive to more expensive when swapping parts. Start with plugs and wires.
