Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
If you did switch the coil pack wiring, it would have been misfiring the entire time. It sounds like you had it right if it ran good at first. Just to make sure, I attached a picture of the firing order for you to look through.
Next, what I want you to do is scan the computer to determine which cylinder has the misfire. Follow this link.

Once you determine which cylinder has the problem, we can focus on that. I have to be honest, there were a lot of problems replacing spark plugs in this engine. Often times when the plug was removed, the threads from the head came with it. Also, the back two plugs (numbers 4 and 8) are nearly impossible to access because of the engine's position in relation to the cowl.
Start with what I listed and let me know what you find and if there are additional codes other than just misfire.
I will watch for your reply.
