Rough idle and reverse

I just replaced my plugs and wires and now the car runs rough in reverse and idles high in park. It's a 92 rs and I used ac delco plugs and accel wires. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Rough idle and reverse

Well today I started it and it is rough period. I tried to drive up the street and it was shaking hard. Now the coolant temp sensor is completely broken in half. I haven't had the time to replace it.

Re: Rough idle and reverse

sounds like vacuum leak... should probably fix that coolant temp sensor too and see what happens.
