Did you try putting the old plugs back in to see if it starts?

Sounds like your Installation is incorrect.

Make sure it is like this before you do anything.

Remember, Cyl 1 and Cyl 4 are together, and Cyl 2 and Cyl 3 are together

Thinking correct info above^^^
Think of it this way, you moved 2 things-- plug wires and spark plugs
You have a problem
you have put back in the old plugs and still have a problem--so eliminated plugs as a result.
Leaves you with wires-- you have at least one wire out of place--if you don't have both coils out of place..

Could it be that maybe you place the ignition coils in the wrong place ?
Just like they said ^^^

The coils will only go into two of the holes if installed the way it came out like said in thread post. The matter of which one goes in which hole means nothing being there identical parts. Having cyl1 & 3 backwards is another story, this will cause the effect your experiencing.
Nice pic SiriusEvo
