Yes! They just destroyed my mothers car first they the power steering belt and then that same week he returned and chewed up the wiring harness...horrible!
Check your wire connections. If the wires are out of order, it may prevent the car from starting.
Possibly, but which wires? It is unlikely, though. Crossed wires would be much more likely to prevent your car from starting or from running after it begins to fire rather than cause it to die after it is started up and has gone into "run" mode.
My Pontiac Montana was burning when I came out from paying for gas.........it still runs with no known problems...........the fire was a mouse or squirrills nest of paper and fur in the holes on the exhaust manifold where it was warm when I parked for a few days or even over night. check the oxygen sensor wires as my daughters car had squirrels chew through those and her car would not start.

stay in car
On a car with a distributor: cap, rotor, plugs and wires On a car with coil packs: plugs and wires
buy new ignition wires
Sometimes a hole may have to be drilled if the wires can not be passed through an existing hole. Be sure if a hole is drilled that all metal burs are removed and that the wires are wrapped well to prevent abrasion. Electricity and eventual bare wire caused by rubbing on metal over time will cause arcing and a possible fire.
Yes but it varies from car to car
I've encountered that a few times...If you removed the factory stereo, and you cut the wires, you may have cut the power and ground wires at the same time, and created a short circuit. This would hae blown a fuse and will prevent the vehicle from going into gear. Check your fuses, and see how that works. you crossed some wires
If it has a distributor, then all the plug wires will merge at the distributor. Follow the wires.
It could be in need of a new set of ignition wires (spark plug wires).
