1990 wont turn over

made a bad mistake when changing spark plug wires. unhooked one old wire at the sparkplug end while the distributor end was still connected. thought i disconnected both ends of this wire. when i started the car the wire on the spark plug end was touching the aire cleaner which is metal. a line of blue electricity was coming from the wire to the air cleaner cover. at the distibutor end i saw the same line of blue electricty. i shut off the car. attached the wires correctly. restarted the car. it idled fine. shut it off. 5 minutes later i went to start the car and it wont even turn over. all electrical components work as far as headlights,radio, interior lights, blinkers,hazards. does anyone know what's wrong? i'm clueless at this point. thankyou.
