Weird car noise after changing spark plugs - what could it be?

I just changed the spark plugs on my 2000 Chrysler Cirrus. When I first started the car I got a rapid ticking/sparking noise and it wouldn't start. I tried it again and it worked. It seems to recur randomly now



Any idea what the noise could be?

you sure they were the right plugs? if they're too long the pistons will hit them. or one of you plug leads is arcing.

sounds like ya don't have the plug wire on right ,or ya got two mixed up,you may have missed the plug and gone right beside it

with the hood open and vehicle running look for sparking ,that would be the cylinder
your problem is loose plug leads make sure your plug leads clip on the spark plugs also make sure you have the right spark plugs fitted on, or you crack your pistons and you have major headache.
