Sputtering after plug replacement...

Did you gap the plugs before you installed them? Did you even check the gap? Spark plug gap for non-turbo's is .043" (1.1mm), turbo's is .031" (.8mm). The Maximum electrode gap for non-turbo's is .051" (1.3mm), turbo's is .039" (1mm).

Why didn't you replace the wires while you were replacing the plugs? Channel locks?!? You most likely damaged them. I'd get a set of MSD or NGK wires.

Are you sure you didn't mix up the plug wires? I'd double check that also.
