Default Spark plug wire problem

Hey everyone, i have a problem. I just replaced my spark plug wires and when i turned on my car it ran EXTREMELY rough. I turned it off, and now it will crank over, but not stay on. I am very sure that the spark plug order is correct. Would the seating of the wires cause this? Could i have bumped something that i didn't know of, or possibly got some vacuum tubes mixed up? Thanks for the help everyone.

double check the order (the coil pack is represented on the bottom, engine is on top). make sure the plugs are seated good on the plugs and coil pack - just to make sure, i'd take them off and put them back on until i heard/felt a firm "click." as for the vacuum tubes, you should have only had to take off the tube to the pass. side valve cover that comes from the the air inlet tube... so i don't think vacuum tubes should be a prob.
