car wont start

i changed 3 things on my car. 1. vacuum hoses. 2. silicone spark wires. and 3. water thermo sensor.

now that i put everything back together, the car wont start. when the turn the key around, its tries to start, but just cant. i feel that its probably the spark wires. is there a trick to putting on new spark wires? even as i put them on, i had a feeling i wasnt putting them on properly.

could it be something else.

i might have dropped something down the lower intake manifold. i used the flex magnet, and i used a shop vacuum to get it out, but nothing came out. so i assumed nothing fell in the first place.

so, would you think that the car wont start because of the spark wires being set incorrectly. or would it be because something is restricting or even seizing the motion of the engine (that thing which fell through the LIM)?

ps.. i thank everyone for their advice on trying to get that thing out of the LIM
