I had to replace my TV cable. My stepson did the job for my as I was ill at the time and my wife needed use of the vehicle. He also replaced the plugs and wires. It now runs terribly, backfires on acceleration and has no power. I checked the firing order and plug gap which was fine. I asked him if the car was running when he adjusted the TV cable, (he does not remember). As I know this can cause damage. Where do I go from here what do I check now?

It almost sounds like it has jumped time. I would check the time with a light. Please let me know what you find.
