New starter installed, BUT...

Yesterday I established that my solenoid on my starter was bad, so I bolt a whole new starter. Got it installed last night, it starts the car on the first try, but now the engine is rough, almost like I have a big cam in it. The tach shakes even when reving up, what could be the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Alan

You knocked a plug wire off or broke a plug while maneuvering the starter around getting it out and back in; check #6 & #8.
