Default header install aftermath, HEELLLPPP!

Just got through putting in flowtech headers and I have a missfire. What could it be. Plugs are good, and the plug wires are fully connected.

Could it be that the coil packs are out of order. If so, how do I know and how do I get them back in order.

Do the plug wires have a specific plug they go to?? I just kinda mixed matched.

Help,
John

This is really a no brainer,if you have a miss/skip it will set the MIL/SES light, scan to see which cylinder and it will be easy to narrow down the problem of plug/plug wire/ coil conection etc.

I thought taht the wirring harness set the firing order and as long as u have the harnesses in order and the coil packs and wires is going to the plug right below it everything will be ok. even if i take a plug wire off one coil and put it on the other side. Also you could take a coil pack and move it from the pass side to the drivers side and it would be ok right?
