I've recently exchanged my spark plugs and wiers on my 97 Buick Century. I hooked everything correctly in the fireing order, but my "service engine soon" light is flashing. I red in the manual that this means that the engine is missfiering. This occured right after I changed the spark plugs, it seems that new wiers made it even worst. Has anyone else faced this problem before or can you tell me why this is happening? Also my engine is makeing a ticking noise and it's not running the same way it did before the exchange.

Check each plug wire make sure it is seated on plug and on coil.
