engine misfiring after wire tuck

So i did a wire tuck on my car today..

i did the harness that goes across the front of the engine.. i didnt cut any wires simply unwrapped the plastic and then re wrapped it with electrical tape no wires were snipped at all what so ever..

then i went along reconnecting everything where it should reach simply to make sure everything would fit and reach..

then after everything was said and done i started my car up and it seems like its misfiring i get a check engine light.. dont know what it is simply because i dont have a OBII code reader..

i did not DISCONECT the negative battery terminal i know.. noob mistake

i then thought that maybe by reseting my ECU it would go away.. but only the check engine light went away yet the issue is still there..

the engine shakes a bit and you can tell something is off.. i know its not the connections because they all fit and they all reach.. what could it be?

did i just Eff up my harness??or even worse my car?

if anyone can help id appreciate it..

Post pix of the wire tuck. I need to do this. You didnt have to cut any wires??


I've seen that problem come up when the coils are connected wrong. Sounds awesome...just doesn't run good.. lol
