maybe the powerstreering pump is no good ...try another one...
ok just kidding ...but alittle more to go on ..would help ..
..did it run before all this? does it fire at all ..
..what book did you use for the firing order ...one of them is wrong...not sure which one ...but should be.. from the coil.. left to right ..on the back posts 1,2,3 and on the front 5,6,4 that's standing in front of the car looking at the coil ...since you have now extra plug wires ...unplug a new one at the coil... and plug an old one in with a spark plug in the other end ... and ground the plug ..and turn the engine over ...see if you have spark...then check for fuel ...do you hear the fuel pump running? ..when you turn the key to on?.. don't know if you were having problems before all this ...and that's why you changed your plugs and wires .. could be a plugged fuel filter ...follow the fuel rail on drivers side...should see a valve cap like on a tire ..remove it and press the valve down ..after you turn the key on ...don't start....should be a fare bit of fuel pressure ....also check for loose connection on the cam sensor ..that's on top of the water pump ..close to the powerstreering ..may of knocked it loose ...but if you got gas and spark ....wires are on right ...should go ...dave

it starts but cuts out its might be the mass air flow sensor
