    Default Integra misfiring?

    I have a 1996 Acura Integra, b18b1 5spd. I wanted to arrange the spark cables (there were hanging everywhere), so I took them out, and the little copper/metal things inside them were still in the head, so I couldn't put them back in, I took the little metal things out, and bought brand new cables and brand new spark plugs. I put the new cables in and it was mis-firing BADLY, I put the new spark plugs in, it was still misfiring. So I drove it home (misfiring like a motherfucker, stupid I know.) I looked up online to see the spark cables diagram to see how they were suppose to be set up, I put them in wrong the first time. I put them in right now, and its mis-firing ALITTLE at about 5k-6k RPMS. What can this be? Thanks alot!

    could be timing or bad dist. a few things.....Did you set the correct gap or use the right plugs ?
    Also make sure the new wires are snapped onto the plugs good.

    Man, I doubt it's the dizzy or timing, because it ran PERFECTLY fine before I took the cables out. I'm a dumbass. And yes, they're both correct. I got them at autozone and made them check 3 times to make sure they're for my car.
