Re: If it's not broke, don't break it...

Go over all of the work that was just done. Somewhere along the line 
you did something. Either you mixed up a plug, a wire, a hose, or 
maybe you have a defective ignition wire or spark plug. Another 
possibility is that you knocked a hose or wire loose in the area 
between the engine and the firewall. It is very tight in there and 
easy to do without noticing. Go over every plug and vacuum 
hose.(Including the one that goes down to the auto trans!) Be very 
slow, careful and meticulous and you will find it. You may have to go 
over the firing order if you mixed up the ignition wires. (Make sure 
they are snugly snapped on. You didn't stretch any did you? Ignition 
wires don't take kindly to being stretched! You break the carbon 
inside.) If you dropped a spark plug it could be cracked and sparking 
inside. A dropped plug is supposed to be tested or thrown away!
