1991 Geo Prizm

My car was having trouble starting, it would crank over but not start on occasion. I decided to replace my distributor cap and rotar and spark plug wires. I have my wires in the correct place. Now my car starts but it is sputtering really bad and seems to not have any power when driving or while idling. This problem started after everything was replaced, what did I do wrong?
