I would have to ask if you had much problem getting the spark plug wires off when you initially changed the plugs?

Often the plug ends adhere to the plug and some folks try to get a good grip on the lead to pop the plug end free of the porcelin plug. That is a sure fire way to ruin a set of plug wires. If you have a DVM (digital volt meter) check each of the wires for resistance, believe they should all fall about 1k ohms (or is it 5k??? someone refresh my memory). Any wire that read high or have no reading need be replaced.

Just another thing to check out.
