Default bogging?

I changed my valve cover gasket today.
took off the spark plug wires so I can remove the cover.
I put everything back on, and now car makes a rumble sound and feels extremely slow.
any ideas?
I'm getting spark on all cylinders
car is a 95 civic vx with a 95 gsr motor.
driven daily without a prob for 2yrs..and now this happens...
help anyone?

was it bogging before you did this or did it just start right after you did this?

sounds like firing order to me...
In other words... you have your spark plug wires in the wrong order..
But then again I dont think it would start if you put them in the wrong order.. did you f up the gap horribly on your plugs?

Yeah, but the "spark" could be going out the side of the boot and into your valve cover.

That I don't know. When mine went bad I used some extra Small Block Chevy wires I had.

(It was really only one wire that was bad)
