Yeah on a '95 the air filter box is just an empty box. Maybe you knocked a wire loose.

95 ex coupe, yeah i thought i knocked a few wires off too but nothin' . i dont mean the part where the air filters is in. i took off the part thats mostly visible under the car its like a giant platic box.

well when you say the car wont start... do ya mean it wont turn over at all? or it just wont start?
if it wont turn over... check the starter activation wire..... could have poped out when you where messing with the intake....


but other than that i dont see anything else around the air intake that could cause a problem... could just be coincidence...
