How come my car wont start after changing my spark plug wires?
So it worked fine for a while and then suddenly didn't work. Perhaps you didn't get the coil wire plugged far enough into the distributor cap, and from engine vibration it worked out far enough to cause what you see, or rather don't see. Make sure the wires go in far enough to %26quot;click%26quot;.

Remove and clean your battery cable connectors and the battery posts with a wire brush as shown in the video below. You have a bad connection at the battery.

Sounds like one of your plug cables is not firmly connected to either the plug or the distributor. Even if they feel tight pull them off and double check. Sometimes the metal connection acceptor inside the rubber end get bent and don't make a good connection.
make sure your wires are connected completly.
