1989 98 Regency Grand Touring edition, 3.8L V-6. Just bought the car and it ran perfect. I did a tune up, consisting or wires, plugs, fuel filter, changed oil, air filter. Replaced the Ignition coil pack, hooked up the spark plugs wires, and now the car will not start. I have the firing order all correct, and have triple checked it, but when i switch two of the wires out of order it will turn on... It misses and is VERY sluggish, but will run. Could it be a faulty ignition coil? The whole car ran like brand new until i replaced the coil, and i have no clue what to do now. Is there a certain way the coil goes in? It didn't have any indication as to which way to place it on. Please help, i need this fixed badly! Thanks!

Hi:
Which two wires are you switching to make it start?
