I recently discovered a vary large oil leak on my saturn, I had to replace my valve cover gasket. When I did I removed the spark plug wires from the plugs and from the distributor cap. After replacing the gasket I put everything back following the instructions of my repair manual. Ever since the engine has not been the same. It idles rough and jerks on acceleration. I think its the order of the spark plug wires. I conected the spark plug end of the wires in 4123 from left to right, and conected the distributor cap end of the wires in the firing order 1342. Should it be 4123 on the distributor cap as well? If not what else could it be? I thank you for your time and guideance.

Is this a 1.9 liter engine? If so this is what I got

The way you describing it -sounds like distributor ignition system
