1989 190E 2.6 Tune-up...now it will not run.

HELP!!!!
Ok, I am super desperate here. Here is what I have accomplished, besides killing my poor baby! I changed her wires, pluggies, her cap, her button, put everything back on like I had taken it off...
Cruel Irony: My mother had this car new and never gave it a tune up...I got the car, I give it a tune up upon hearing the "i-did-not-give-the-car-a-tune up-ever", now...she starts, but will not turn all the way over...it is as if she is misfiring
I checked my routing...1-5-3-6-2-4...got that right...stand in front of car chuck in wires...too easy. Ok..I go back to check the button and the rotor, looking for a reason to curse someone out...nothing...all matched (by the way, my mother did not lie...all the pieces I pulled out, even the plugs were OEM!!!) I took off the air filter house, got in the car to crank her, looked at that big beautiful butterly...catch flames and backfire every time I put my foot in her... (I know this is an automatic with fuel injection ports...but sometimes it feels good...)
So I figured it cold be an array of things...cat convert, c s valve, that relay that costs an arm and a leg, ovpr...which I have no earthly idea where it is located, and my car does NOT take atc's. Shoot, I would go insane enough to even say it's the timing chain...and that would suck because I do not know the time marks on the engine...
Can anyone help me...like before my husband gets home...why you ask, because I've been driving his 66Shelby...he ain't gonna be happy...
