make sure your ignition is set up correctly and wires going to right cylinders. and check coil. was it doing I t prior to the work that you did? it may be a basic engine problem. also check for a vacuum leak as well and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

then it wasn't the parts you changed to correct it. if it had a misfire code like 300-308 those are very hard to diagnose and apro should do it because it can be any sensor causing the problem. your fuel pressure should be 41-47psi key on engine off test that , vacuum leaks then compression
