running horribly, please help

i changed my plugs, oil, and belts this morning, and now i start the car up and it runs like crap, i tried switching the trailing wires and it jsut ran worse. the engine just sounds bad, i used the 7's and 9's in the right spot, even if they weren't it wouldn't be this bad. for the leading wires just to make sure which rotor is for the top and which is for the bottom. any body have any clue, could the plugs not be tight enough?

Just a WAG, but you may have knocked off the MAP sensor hose - that'll cause the FD to run poorly. The MAP sensor is attached to the firewall on the driver's side- says boost sensor.

If the tube was off, ty-rap it, or it'll come off again.

There are other things that you could have done to make it run badly, but try this 1st. The plugs would have to be falling out to cause what you describe.
