So about two hours ago my car suddenly turned off. I recently changed the spark plug wires and spark plugs. So when I turn the key it won't crank. It has a new battery and the starter does not click. The only things that click is something under the dash and a relay close to that air filter named "ACC". Does anyone know what this might be?

Anyone? I was thinking it might have something to do with the ignition switch?

check all your ground wires too, mine was loose on the terminal & car wouldnt start. After i figured that one out i was like FML lol
also did you place the wires in the cylinders in the correct firing order?
to see if its your ignition switch cuz ive had the same issue, put the key in the ignition & try to turn it on if it doesnt try wiggling the key up & down side to side as well. If it turns on then you know its the ignition too
hope this helps.............

+1 for ground wire , and make sure the contacts are not all dirty too. i would also check for blown fuses too

One of the wires on my key cylinder melted off causing this same issue, check those.

check your starter if it's not clicking somethings wrong.
my friends starter wire was loose and when he turns the key it doesn't crank it just clicks inside the car.
check fuses, my car wouldn't start a few weeks ago, i thought i fried my ecu because it smoked a bit, butit was just a fuse that fried and prevented it from turning over.
