Sputtering After Distributor Cap Replacement
HELP…I have a 1992 Firebird. Stalled out on me this morning and wouldn’t turn over after that.
After doing some research, I decided to test my distributor, ignition coil, and ICM. After testing the distributor cap where the spark plug wires connect, I saw where not all wires were getting spark. I have replaced the distributor cap and rotor and it cranked up. YAY!!
When I went to drive it around the block, the car is now sputtering and clunky when accelerating. Can anyone help?

Verify your wires are in the correct order. Sounds like you have two crossed
