Worse after new spark wires...

I thought I was very careful to install them one wire at a time...

Anyway the car ran rough to begin with, and I thought replacingthe old wires was a good bet considering they were all burned and stuff. Now it runs worse.

Could it just be my ECM needs to be reset? Or more likely I nucked fup with the wire order?

Btw they are accell 8mm's, the already built kind.

If its worse after the wire install and thats the only change you made, chances are there is a plug wire crossed somewhere. Double check the wiring.
