I recently changed my spark plug wires and installed them wrong. I went online and found the proper firing order and placed them correctly, but know my car idles bad. I called a mechanic to check it out and he reset my timing. Once that was done it still idles a lot. The car turns on but shuts off if I release the gas.

Have it scanned for codes. Recheck the firing order and check for vacuum leaks.
