Will a car run if plug wires are crossed?

No, a car will likely not run smoothly, or at all, if the plug wires are crossed. The firing order of the cylinders is crucial for proper engine operation. Crossing the wires disrupts this order, causing misfires, poor performance, and potentially engine damage if run for an extended period. The engine might sputter, backfire, or simply refuse to start.
