Kevin says if the firing order is correct and the spark is making it to the plugs, remove the caps and rotors and put the old ones back on. See if its ok then. Otherwise, maybe run a compression check to make sure the head gaskets and valves are cool.
Also check that the plugs are the correct WR7DC...if you got them locally, the store probably tried to sell you the wrong ones, because they don't list Euro stuff. They are forever trying to sell me the ones for the US cars when I go in there. I have to ask for the plugs by part number, not make/model.

Got all the parts from Roger so I'm sure they are fine, it ran Ok before the tune up. I took it for a drive it was breaking down upon light accelration, once I got on it no breakdown, took off like a rocket. It could be that this car has sat for a very long time we added some inj cleaner we checked the tank, new pump and filter. It could be that the inj may have some blockage in it we are waiting on new wires next week. Just a note this is not my Euro it is my friends and I'm helping him get it up to snuff.

I have heard all the stories of a stuck bolt on the rear shocks but this must top them all:
1: Soaked, pounded with a 5-Lb hammer for 1/2 hour.
2: Removed pass side arm with shaft and hub and brought it to local auto repair center with press, they could not get it out.
3: Went to machine shop used a HUGH press it would not budge, when the workers start moving back from the press while cranking it up you know its stuck.
4: Had to cut, burn out and other wise destroy the bolt to disassemble. Thanks to Roger all the replacement parts were delivered over night and the car is off of my lift!
5: Car is headed to Old Town Show, one small goal I had made.
