Popping Backfiring Issue

I recently installed an Accel car and rotor kit along with Accel 8mm plug wires and Bosch +2 spark plugs. Since then my car backfires sometimes pops alot and doesnt stay running until the car has been driven for like 5-10 mintues.(car dies after being started and have to step on gas to start)
I havent replaced the coil yet though, could that be my problem. I also just changed to fuel filter and that didnt help the starting and running condition. I dont have smog or purge canister in car.

Check that your plug wires are all in the right spots.

Re: Popping Backfiring Issue

so check my wiring, will do as soon as sun light pops up
no backfire comes from ypipe, I know its running rich cause i can smell it. also im have a broken ypipe right where the cat meets it and i know that is letting in air causing the o2 sensor to tell the ecu im running rich.(i read that out of motorbooks:how to tune and modify your 1982-1998 Camaro)
and yeah it is in two threads, i want all the help
