misfiring after new ignition wires

[spammy123]

today i went out and bought a set of taylor thundervolt wires for my 92 laser, i put them on backwards the first time and so obviously it was misfiring when i was revving slightly at idle but i switched them back and i know they are in the right order but it still is missing. i was thnking maybe my plugs went bad because they were backwards but i dont know what else to try

Did you check the gap on the plugs?

Never hurts to double check the firing order one last time either.

If not try new plugs all together. There are a lot of stupid things that could cause a misfire, including a bad spark plug hole, you got a dud for a wire, etc.

Check the wires for any damage. Even though they're new, it's never a guarantee that they work properly.

i had a problem like that a few weeks ago, turns out i forgot to gap the plugs due to being in a hurry.

Is the coil pack still bolted to the engine in original place? If moved or not on engine sometimes the magnetic field density is reduced enough (engine block carries field) to cause missfires.
