OK...i just got my hotwires today..put them in no problem. But before i put in my last two wires i looked inside the boot and noticed a small amount of gel on the inside of the rubber hose that extends into the engine and to the spark plug. After i put all of them on i started my car up and WHOAH!! the damn thing sounds like a piece of crud old school bug thats about to break down. It sounds likes its running on 2 cylinders ( i dont know that for sure but its really spaced out and weak sounding) I started it...backed it up alittle...realized it had absolutely no chance of smoothing out...and pulled it back into the carport for further inspection...i checked everything and all my grounds are connected...is that gel posing a problem?? or is there something else im not doing? Please help...thanks alot.

Sounds like you didn't connect the wires to the distrubuter in order. Try that I had the same problem and that how I solved it.
