Im looking for an APA- writing manual that tells me how to cite different references. Trying to find out how to site a person who wrote an article but i have no idea of the date it was written....

might look on the APA website for this kind of stuff... i don't know if they publish it there though.

you don't need to cite the date for journal articles in APA format. you just cite the journal/issue/page-number-range where it was published. when citing in the article in your paper, use:

"quote you're using" (Author, year).

oh yeah, and if you're really going for full APA format, don't forget your cover page, running head, abstract, proper page headers, etc.
