    Hi V8 Buick,

    I replaced wires, ignition coil, ignition module, cap / rotor, spark plugs, fuel filter and air cleaner; and the car is running like crap. Cylinders 4 & 6 are a little rich, the others are fine. The engine idles a bit rocky, the car sputters on take off in drive and reverse. It also back fires while driving whether on or off the throttle. I cleaned the carb as well. I'm planning to install exhaust and header but hopefully I can sort this issue before installing the exhaust and headers. Any help is always appreciated. Thanks.

    So to be clear, this issue started after the tune up? Are you sure you dont have 2 wires crossed?
