    Have you checked you didn't crack a plug when you put then in? If not plugs maybe a vacuum hose is loose, check all the hose connections for tight fit or cracks.

    Definitely check for a cracked or closed up plug, its easy to crack them when tightening them. Also double check the plug leads are on right plugs/coils. If theyre wrong, they will cause the car to splutter and run crook.
